Passos Coelho asks for “reformism” to Montenegro. Rock flashes his eye

Passos Coelho asked the party to continue the “reformist tradition” without answering if Luís Montenegro has these qualities. Rui Rocha, from the liberal initiative, guarantees that he will have the “reformist impetus” that the former PSD leader asks.

At the entrance to lunch with several former PSD leaders to mark the party’s 51th anniversary at the national headquarters on Tuesday, former Prime Minister Pedro on Tuesday Passos Coelho asked for reformism to Luís Montenegro”.

“My deep desire is that in these years we have on, the PSD can live up to its reformist tradition in Portugal. The whole world lives times of very large transformations, of great uncertainties, both at the level of safety and defense, and the economic and political level, and this still emphasizes the importance of relevant important reforms that the country still needs to do. to overcome structural vulnerabilities that are still manifest”He warned.

For the former prime minister, this requires “evidently political stability”, but not only: “There must be truly a reformist spirit that may be at the service of this stability,” he said, without ever responding if AD or Luís Montenegro have these characteristics.

Rui Rocha appears and blinks the eye

In a reaction, in statements to journalists in Mangualde (district of Viseu), the IL leader Rui Rocha assured that his party will have the “reformist impetus” that Pedro Passos Coelho asked, considering that the words of the former PSD leader were directed to AD, who did not bring “the necessary change” to the country.

O liberal swore not “combined anything” with Passos Coelhowho this afternoon asked for reformism from the PSD ,.

“It seems very relevant that Passos Coelho identifies two questions that are fundamental. On the one hand, the issue of stability and, on the other hand, that of reformism, which are precisely two questions in which AD has failed,” he said.

For Rui Rocha, AD failed to stability “as it led the country to a situation of legislative elections, political crisis” and, throughout the legislature, “has also failed from the point of view of reformist measures.”

“Therefore, it seems to me that this warning of Pedro Passos Coelho is a very fair warning and that he addresses those who in this legislature could not give any of these two questions to the country,” he said.

“Brand” of IL is reformism

Asked if IL will bring this reformist capacity requested by the former PSD Prime Minister Rui Rocha replied: “This is precisely our brand”

“What we have to give to the Portuguese is precisely this reformist impetus, this ability to look at the areas where AD was not able to introduce absolutely necessary and urgent change in the country“, These.

Smells the troika? Or more than that

PCP leader Paulo Raimundo stated, about the PSD’s birthday lunch that brought together former social democratic leaders, which “The menu that smells of the troika”with potatoes from Brussels, German sausage and a thin soup.

In another reference to the troika, Rui Tavaresfrom the free, it was further and said that A possible majority between AD’s “Montenegrism” and IL’s “motorcycle motion” would be to go beyond the troika.

“Also It is good that we can be assumed with all the possible scenarios. If a possible scenario is AD and IL close to the absolute majority is to go further than Troika, it is very clear that this is what AD and IL want. This is still, in a way, the matrix of your project, ”said Rui Tavares at the end of a visit to AICEP Global Parks in Sines, Setúbal district.

Addressing the electorate, Rui Tavares stressed that the Right is already with “The King in the Belly” and singing early victory without going to the polls yet.

“Everything is very much to count on the result of the elections, putting the car ahead of the oxen and seeing themselves together to the horizon in power,” he said.

Therefore, he added, “it is very important for voters to look at this and realize that vote in Portugal has often served to reintroduce balance and moderation in the political system.”

Rui Tavares insisted that he is in the hands of voters “put a brake on Radicalization of the right ” – which in recent years has been unbalanced the political system.
