Papa: sic and TVI ignored Montenegro

Luís Montenegro spoke again about the Pope Francis’ deathon the weekend. This time about your successor.

“I think it is important that the porridge figure remains of someone who is heard. It is not enough to say: You have to be listened to. There is a big difference between speaking and being heard, and this Pope has managed, the result of his authenticity on the one hand, the result of his simplicity on the other, of proximity and after the welcome his word also found, ”said the prime minister in Rome after the funeral of Francis.

On Friday, upon arrival in Rome, Montenegro, considered that Pope Francis “gave his consulate a truly universal dimension ” and left an example that “can be replicated in political action.”

“It was someone who gave his consulate a truly universal dimension, being everywhere, even approaching antagonistic, or at least not coincident religious creeds. The very openness that demonstrated from this point of view is also an example that can be replicated in political action,” he said.

None of these two stations interrupted their sequence to broadcast Louis Montenegro’s intervention. “Happily”, Luís Miguel Tavares reacted: “I don’t want to know for anything of Luís Montenegro’s opinion on the Pope ”.

“And I also want to know little of Marcelo’s opinion (who spoke directly to the country at 8 pm). It makes no sense. I like the Pope but dismissed those interventions,” concluded the commentator on.
