Hugo Soares, the Secretary-General of the PSD, has openly criticized presidential candidate Gouveia e Melo, suggesting he lacks substantial political grounding, especially regarding political stability. In an interview with Antena 1, Soares pointed out the admiral's admission to potentially appointing a government led by André Ventura as a sign of political naivety.
Soares emphasized the risks of electing Gouveia e Melo as President, citing his lack of political experience and the confusion surrounding his stance on receiving support from Chega, André Ventura's party. He argued that Gouveia e Melo's candidacy is causing divisions within Chega's electorate, rather than the PSD's, as some might assume.
The PSD leader also expressed concerns over the public's limited understanding of Gouveia e Melo's political ideology, criticizing the media's focus on his military rank over his political views. Soares questioned the democratic health of a former high-ranking military officer transitioning directly into a presidential candidacy.
Looking ahead, Soares predicted a calmer legislative period, noting the PS's seemingly more moderate leadership and Ventura's attempts to present himself as a more responsible and politically mature figure.
