22:56 – Jerónimo de Sousa said this evening that the known results “below the goals”
“We have to look to the future,” said Jerónimo de Sousa. “Give the answers they can and should, open perspectives for an alternative policy (…) not limited to strict readings and contents of the State budget. The forms that make up the CDU will take the initiative to affirm the alternative that is necessary in that the OE is inserted, but that it is beyond it in matters that are decisive for the lives of people and workers. These are the options that must be assumed. Portugal needs another policy”.
The secretary general of the PSD said today that “no one sings victory” is still at the Social Democratic headquarters, but he accused polls released in the campaign of “failing resoundingly”.
In a first reaction to the television projections, José Silvano claimed, even so, an “expressive” victory for the PSD in Coimbra and the doubt about the winner in Lisbon.
The president of the Left Bloc candidacy for the Porto Chamber said today that the party is “optimistic” about the possibility of electing, for the first time, a councilor for the municipal executive.
