The BE coordinator confirmed this Thursday that the party is in dialogue with Livre and PAN to present "convergence projects" in the upcoming municipal elections. She expressed "full availability" for a left-wing alliance in Lisbon.
Mariana Mortágua, BE's leader, highlighted that "the biggest concern resulting from this shift to the right" in Sunday's legislative elections is "the prospect of a constitutional revision", a process the IL has already shown interest in initiating.
Mortágua called for "all forces of democracy, of the Social State, to unite around the goal of preventing the revision of the Constitution of April 25 and Portuguese democracy." She emphasized that "our entire democracy, the Social State, education, things we take for granted, like access to health, exist because they are enshrined in the Constitution."
She warned that the Fundamental Law "is at risk" and that "the right wants to attack it", as it is "a crucial pillar of democracy, conquered on April 25." Mortágua described this as a "new and dangerous situation, considering the radicalization of the right", and argued that "this radicalization only happens because the PSD has also been radicalizing and adopting many of the right's ideas, allowing the expansion of this discourse." She cautioned that "collective and individual freedoms are at risk."
