And Leonor even said that the worst job he had was to be a health minister.
But the history of the PSD thinks that, wants Leonor Beauty, he wants Passos Coelho, would be candidates for win, if they advanced.
Because, analyzed in, None of the current candidates will convince Voters in 2026: “Political experience is not enough. It is necessary to have the necessary attraction by the electorate. ”
“Taking André Ventura, any of the others has qualities to be president of the Republic,” he admitted, but without being convinced of any of the names announced or suggested so far.
António Capucho thinks Several PSD militants will support Gouveia and Melo in the next presidential elections. But I did not say who, “I do not say because they killed me, but it is evident that they will support him.”
