There were emigrants who only received advertising from arrival. And the Portuguese “are not brother”: Ana Gomes warns PS

The great divorce, the problem with many facets, competitors to ram that should appear and the recommended alliances in the municipalities.

The Socialist Party (PS) It will really be, for the first time, only the third party with more deputies in the Assembly of the Republic. They put them the arrival with 60 deputies, while the PS was 58.

One of the reasons that originated this fall of the PS and this clear triumph of arrives abroad was the communication, According to Ana Gomes: “There were emigrants only received advertising from – Which shows that the arrival worked, knew how to reach emigrants; The other parties did not do enough. ”

The old MEO see a “problem with many facets” in the current PS and one of them is precisely communication: “The PS needs to reconnect, to know people, to talk to associations, unions, activists. And a party that doesn’t reach the young people It has no future. Young people don’t see television, they see social networks. ”

This electoral result was a sign of a “Great divorce of the people”. And now the “fundamental is to regenerate, reconnect with people,” he repeated.

It was also a consequence of time that the PS led the government Over the past few decades: it has been in power during. And during this period, he was “responsible for wrong, neo-liberal policies, which was better than being the right to present.”

And the “Portuguese are not freshthere are a lot of people who are living badly. The vote in the arrival is a vote of protest. THE PS cannot continue to propose right -wing solutions“, Reinforced in.

Pedro Nuno Santos, José Luís Carneiro should be the next secretary general of the PS. It must be “Greet for being available ”and, by “experience Which has on the ground, you can be a leader – as long as it assumes that the PS has to be the opposition leader, with alternative proposals. Because the arrival has no proposal, and the ones that have are fanciful and destructive. ”

However, for Ana Gomes, other names candidates for party leadership should emerge. “There must be reflection and action at the same time, because the country does not stop. I would like other people if they arrived ahead. The democratic competition reinforces the PS and Portugal ”.

Ana Gomes does not even admit a central block, An agreement between PS and AD: “Not even thinking, that would be the game of arrival. And the PS can’t be government crutch, it can’t make a budget viable without knowing the budget.”

In addition, the PS militant argues that in the next elections autarchic, The PS should align in alliances In some places, to prevent the arrival from winning.

But in general, he believes that “the PS will recover. Because it has always recovered.”
