It looks like it is won: the superb “strange and dangerous” of PSD and Montenegro

An apparent “life insurance” for Luís Montenegro and AD called… Pedro Nuno Santos. No need to do much.

Communication by the government and the PSD – which – was clear: to point to opposition responsibility for the current political crisis. Because it was the opposition, especially PS and enough, that exaggerate the situation of Spinumviva, because it was the opposition that did not approve the motion of trust.

Now, the communication by PSD, and from AD, It is also clear: No need to communicate a lot.

Explains it: the right -wing coalition believes that voters trust – and will continue to trust – More in Luís Montenegro than in Pedro Nuno Santos.

That is, the campaign electoral of the democratic covenant will be simple. It is believed that it is not necessary to appear much, not to speak much, not to organize large rallies or many interviews (not many debates-to help, take Montenegro from more exposure). They consider that the impact of the crisis has already been absorbed, the faults have already been distributed.

AD, especially the PSD, trusts that, In a front-to-front only between the two, Luís Montenegro is betteror even much better, than Pedro Nuno Santos in the eyes of the Portuguese. This is what the polls indicate at least.

In short: The bet of the PSD and AD is called… Pedro Nuno Santos.

“Pedro Nuno Santos is our life insurance. While being the leader of the PS, it is difficult to lose. If this crisis had another affairs leader… ”, commented a PSD leader.

There is an image that the coalition believes that even the PS secretary-general: the image of a “radical”, “irresponsible” and “unforeseen” politician.

Factor Pedro Nuno is not the only one: the PSD also trusts that many Portuguese look at the opposition as guilty by early legislative elections. That is, the direction mentioned in the first paragraph will be resulting in several houses.

Montenegro’s team also provides that voters do not believe much in the Judicial Branch, in the Public Prosecution Service.

Therefore, for the PSD and AD, it is not necessary to move much: the prime minister will defend government measures, numbers, and must arrive to win in May.

In fact, this Sunday the finance minister reinforced this belief: “We worked in a scenario of victory, naturally respecting the result of elections and the result of democracy; We only work in a scenario of Vitória“Said Joaquim Miranda Sarmento on.

Dangerous?

But this is a “Superb strange and dangerous”warn commentators Ricardo Conceição and Paulo Guerra.

On the radio, Ricardo recalls that who made the government fall was Luís Montenegro himself. But now comes with this “whole trust”, the PSD is “very confident” that the undecided will choose Luís Montenegro, not Pedro Nuno Santos.

“I don’t know where this whole confidence comes from. Voters will do their accounts, ponder. In the midst of all this, there is a tatical superb, which is a little strange, that this is clean wheat. I have no idea what will be the result of the May elections. But there is here, by Montenegro and the PSD, a strange superb ”, The political analyst continued, while Paulo Guerra added: “It can be dangerous”.
