“I hear often the far-right leader tells about the last 50 years and what I feel like to tell him is that he has the courage and frontality to say that he would prefer the 50 years before. The only thing I remember is the poverty and misery of the vast majority of the Portuguese people, the absence of a NHS who took care of the people,” he said.
Pedro Nuno Santos acknowledged, however, that There are areas in which it was not done “enough”among which the housing, which considered it to be a sector where the same advances did not have been as in health, in public school or pensions.
“We still have problems in the NHS. We have never mistaken any Portuguese, we never said it was easy and fast to solve health problems and there is an area where we have not done enough in the last 50 years. … We have not done in housing what we did at NHS, public school and pensions,” he acknowledged.
