Hugo Soares announced that the only possible candidate is Luís Montenegro, despite the company’s case. And yet the return to 1987 and to the PRD.
It is not yet official, but most likely we will have again early legislative elections. The Prime Minister is a motion of trust that must be spoiled: PS and arrived already announced that they will vote against.
On the eve of the PCP censorship motion debate – which was rejected but ended up being backward – Hugo Soares that only candidate possible of the PSD (or AD), in the case of elections later this year, will be in the same Luís Montenegro.
Even with suspicions around the family business, even with the multiple criticisms and the various opinions that point out that The Prime Minister is the largest responsible for this political crisis.
Obviously, and with its name “shaking” at this stage, other possible names have come to appear for a candidate for prime minister: Pedro Passos Coelho, Carlos Coins, Leonor Beleza.
But the PSD rejects all These names, guarantees the.
In fact, the party’s direction has a very clear idea: there is no room for any attempt to blow against Montenegro. “Anyone who tries to open an internal war dies. District and councils are aligned and we have over 90% of candidates for the chosen cameras. There is always loyalty, ”commented a source of the PSD management.
It is a reaction to recent rumors about alleged backstage conversations to try to take Luis Montenegro of the government and the leadership of the PSD.
As expected, with Passos Coelho at the top of the list – or the “danger.”
Hugo Soares was once again asked about it on Wednesday, after the debate of the censorship motion: “Who talks about Pedro Passos Coelho? Is that I don’t know anyone who speaks ”commented the parliamentary leader of the PSD, visibly irritated.
Even if there was an alternative, the Calendar Squeeze: The early elections, if confirmed, will already be in.
A PSD leader regrets: “Unfortunately, yes, Montenegro will continue. I think this is terrible for the PSD. We needed a power cycle as a party to prove our reformist impetus. ”
But, in general, is the idea of a United Party Around its president.
Pedro Nuno E… PRD
With Montenegro again candidate, the government advances with two priorities: leaving Pedro Nuno Santos (PS) in bad sheets and ending the subject of Spinumviva.
According to it, the belief of the PSD is that the Ad earns again the elections, the PS loses again And that, in this scenario, Pedro Nuno Santos will be removed of the leadership of the socialists.
More than that, the social democrats believe, the successor de Pedro Nuno (Fernando Medina, José Luís Carneiro, Ana Catarina Mendes, Francisco Assis…) will allow the new government a greater stability, tranquility.
In addition, the PSD intends make forget the case of the family business. The idea is, then the elections, and winning again, Luís Montenegro does not talk again about the Spinumviva – By the way, something you have done over weeks.
There is another belief: a party that overthrow the government is punished in the following elections. And here, the PSD believes that the PS (and arrives) will lose many votes if they really vote against the motion of trust. Is such “irresponsibility”, repeated for example by Marques Mendes.
It is a case that reminds 1987, when the Democratic Renewing Party () presented a motion of censorship against the PPD/PSD government led by Cavaco Silva; Approved motion, the government fell.
But there is a small big difference: At the time, it was a motion of censorship to overthrow the government and was presented by a party (PRD) that even supported the Cavaco PSD in Parliament. Now the scenario is quite different.
