Political Instability Concerns
Pedro Nuno Santos, the Secretary-General of the PS, argues that Portugal's political stability is at risk if Luís Montenegro wins the upcoming early legislative elections. He emphasized that the government would remain under a cloud of suspicion with Montenegro as Prime Minister.
Call for Stability
In statements made to journalists in Castelo Branco, Santos expressed, "It's important to achieve stability and close this chapter. We won't succeed if Montenegro wins; the government will continue to be overshadowed by serious allegations."
Polls and Political Strategy
When asked about polls indicating a potential victory for the AD, Santos responded that "there are polls for all tastes," noting some also favor the PS. He stressed the need to present an alternative project and mentioned ongoing roundtable discussions with PS leaders and independents to formulate a political response to the issues facing the Portuguese people.
Upcoming National Political Meeting
The National Political Commission of the PS will meet on Wednesday to approve the candidate lists for the upcoming elections. The meeting's agenda, signed by Santos, focuses solely on this approval.
According to the National Elections Commission (CNE), candidate submissions are due by April 7 to the presiding judge of the electoral district's court.
