The words of Pedro Nuno Santos, on his return to the Assembly of the Republic, say “very little to the Portuguese”.
When at the Assembly of the Republic, last week, Pedro Nuno Santos He immediately left some messages.
“I have much more respect for José Luís Carneiro than for the tacticians who hide behind the door waiting for the wind to change in favor of the PS, or the left, to advance to the party leadership”, the PS deputy.
The former general secretary of the socialists did not say names. But Duarte Cordeiro he was named as one of the targets of these words, after his decision to join the party’s bodies.
The former minister did not feel affected.
On the NOW channel, Duarte Cordeiro began by analyzing that “what Pedro Nuno Santos decided to highlight in his statement says very little to the Portugueseto your problems.”
This at a time when politicians must “focus their attention on the country’s problems”.
“I don’t know who it was aimed at, I’ve read several versions” – he adds that the targets were Mário Centeno, Ana Catarina Mendes and above all Fernando Medina – “but If by chance it was aimed at me, I think it misses the target”.
“In my political life, at various times, my convictions led me to take positions that were not always the easiest or most popular. Therefore, I don’t see myself again in these types of considerations”, commented Duarte Cordeiro.
The former minister spoke in a “controversy that has no interestit doesn’t bring anything positive.”
“Honestly, I will not follow Pedro Nuno Santos in these types of considerations”, he concluded.
