In the streets, while the party’s anthem was shouted and heard, Rio entered two commercial establishments: a café and a pastry shop, but only a few minutes away. The PSD president does not usually spend a lot of time talking and this was evident with some popular people. On the other hand, selfies happened a lot, with children, young people, older people, women and men. There are even those who have asked for a photo with “the future prime minister of Portugal”.
In his speech in front of the bakery, he accused the Socialist Party (PS) of misrepresenting the proposals of the PSD’s electoral program, such as the alleged privatization of Social Security or the fact that it wanted to make the Portuguese pay for the National Health Service (SNS). ) .

“PS insists on lies to scare people and this is no way to campaign”, he said.
And it was in this statement that one of the supporters took to give a word to “Your friend stop being a liar. He is and continues to be, Mr. António Costa”. Rio just said, “Thank you very much.” And this was the mold he used for all those who supported him on the street.
Of the people who ask for PSD, if they heard from the president, words of encouragement; “Many Ruis Rios for Portugal”; “A lot of strength, Dr. Rui Rio”; “Don’t be afraid of them! Lute across the country! Go!” But Rio is short on words. “Thank you” and “Thank you very much,” he repeated over and over again.
Even to those who will make requests – “it is necessary to effectively work in the Ministry of Health” or not to forget the “white hair”, as they say of the elderly – Rio would say: “Yes, sir”.
Already moderated in Braga, during the “Central Conversations” session, which went around Joaquim Sarmentor André Coelho Lima, moderated the theme with Rio pulled to help, to say that the problem “is not in the laws” and to remember that those who are in the “ front line” of combating is not the judicial system and “politics”.

“Political politics has justice, but with justice of responsibility in combating the struggle and ending responsibility in front of the combat system and of those who do not have the right to a judicial system that knows how to function in front of a judicial system” and adds “We need a judicial system that knows how to work”.
For Rio, the role of politics in this matter is to give the justice system “the instruments and how they can act to be able to act”. Resources are needed, he argued, whether human or technical.
It’s not politics that will pass sentences and say who should be investigated and how it should be and be, none of that, that’s what it would be “to be mixed up when things should be”, he concluded.
Rui Rio kicked off the campaign in Barcelos, with the head of the list for Braga, André Coelho Lima, always by his side. But the party’s goal, Rio said, is “to move up in all the districts.” On Monday the day passes through Lisbon, where the head of the list is Ricardo Baptista Leite, a doctor, former councilor of the Cascais Chamber and current vice-president of the PSD parliamentary group. In the evening, a debate with all candidates with parliamentary representation, on RTP.
