However, this Wednesday, in Setúbal, the current leader of social democrats was confronted with the “ghosts” of Passos Coelho.
Montenegro heard complaints in the Livramento market, especially retired and old fighters for the low reforms or the cuts that were made during the lead of Pedro Passos Coelho, in the time of the “Troika”.
“I understand that the people who a few years ago, because of the country’s financial situation, have lived times of some concern in this domain, need a security word. And I today, modesty aside, can tell people with all the confidence to believe, because we are no longer just making commitments, we We are realizing what we say“He said.
Asked if these insecurities are still directly linked to Passos Coelho-who on Tuesday appeared alongside Montenegro at a former leaders’ lunch-the prime minister admitted that it was in these “moments of difficulty that people were called to make their contribution.”
“Do you think well?!”
At the entrance of the market, Montenegro found an elderly woman who admitted to being from the PS, but said she liked the PSD leader and even wished her victory. However, the lady did not fail to make a Critical question.

“My renovation is 350 euros, I wanted to see the Prime Minister”said the lady, whom Montenegro advised to run for the solidarity supplement for the elderly, noting that the current government has increased its threshold twice.
