Summary:

  • Hugo Soares criticizes Gouveia e Melo's political inexperience and his approach to political stability

  • Soares suggests Gouveia e Melo's candidacy is fracturing Chega's electorate, not the PSD's

  • Concerns raised over the public's lack of knowledge about Gouveia e Melo's political ideology

  • Soares questions the democratic implications of a military officer running for president

  • Prediction of a more moderate legislative period with changes in PS and Chega's leadership styles

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.
