Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa Makes Unexpected Appearance
In a surprising turn of events, President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa made an unannounced appearance at the PSD's Summer University, marking what he called his "last" participation. The event, titled "The President's Responses," was set to begin with an empty chair from the Belém Palace displayed on screens, but Marcelo arrived punctually in person.
Reflections on His Presidency
Over two hours, Marcelo spoke extensively about Portugal and global affairs. He openly admitted that his two terms fell "short of what was dreamed," particularly the second one. Despite this, he staunchly defended the three dissolutions of Parliament he enacted during his tenure, emphasizing their necessity in the political context.
Hopes for the PSD's Future
Looking ahead, the President expressed hope that the Social Democratic Party (PSD) would embrace a path of moderation. He left subtle messages regarding immigration policies, urging a balanced and thoughtful approach.
This final address at the Summer University underscored Marcelo's ongoing influence and his vision for a stable and moderate political landscape in Portugal.
