Jorge Pinto, a deputy from the Livre party, has made a bold promise during his presidential campaign announcement in Amarante. He stated that he will call for the dissolution of the Assembly of the Republic if the right-wing and far-right factions attempt a drastic revision of the Portuguese Constitution without it being a central campaign issue.
Pinto explained that he waited until the last possible moment for a non-partisan candidacy that could unite forces to help the left win the January presidential elections and return to the Presidency of the Republic. However, in the absence of such a scenario, he decided to move forward with his own candidacy. This move underscores his commitment to protecting the constitution from unexpected and extreme changes.
His announcement highlights the ongoing political tensions in Portugal, with the potential for significant constitutional debates shaping the upcoming electoral landscape.
