The motion of trust, according to Montenegro, served to “Bring the truth out” After censorship motions he defined as “hypocrites” because they were not “substantiating the political truth we were living.”
“I assume this responsibility”he stressed, thus also assuming the responsibility for early legislatures.
“I prefer two months to clarify the situation than a year to spoil everything that is being done, ”he said.“ I can’t fear the judgment of the Portuguese, ”he concluded.
Montenegro also took the opportunity to do self-eloogy to your governmenthighlighting the country’s “financial performance” “as one of the best in Europe”, and listing some of the measures to support citizens, namely young people, retired and public function.
“This is the last mission I want in political life”
But the most surprising moment of the interview was when Montenegro made an ad Manuel Luís Goucha about his departure from the world from politics.
“This is the last mission I want to perform in political and public life. I don’t want it anymore, ”he said.“ I started early and I also think I have the right to end a little earlier, ”he added.
