Chega President André Ventura said this Friday that the party’s aim for the regional parliamentary elections in Madeira, which will take place this year, is to end up with the majority of PSD in the region.
“We have a goal for this election. We are going to end up with the majority of the PSD in the Autonomous Region of Madeira”declared André Ventura in Funchal at the presentation of the head of the list of Chega for the regional elections, Miguel Castro.
Chega’s president defended the need to “think about winning”, dismissing the idea that agreements should already be thought about.
“We have to think about winning in order to change. And if we, who were able to face a socialist octopus in the Azores, if we are able to face the huge and powerful socialist machine in the country, then who said we can’t beat the machine? Miguel Albuquerque’s Social Democrat?” he wondered.
André Ventura said “make sure Miguel [Castro] has the DNA, the critical mind, the detachment and, above all, the independence to face the machine that has been swallowing up public power in the Autonomous Region of Madeira for 45 years.”
Chega president Miguel Castro warned that conditions in the region are different this Friday, “but the strength is the same, with greater aggressiveness, with more tricks, more tricks, with more traps”.
“Some of them are able to infiltrate people, even in this room, because they know they have everything to lose if this next act of election goes wrong,” he stressed.
André Ventura also advised Chega/Madeira not to rate the polls as some will be “very good” and others “bad”.
“Because they’re going to cheer you on now, so they can tell you it’s done, they don’t have to work too hard. In the end, they’ll disappoint you, because they don’t think it’s worth trying so hard after that.” all. And then comes the famous bipolarization of PS and PSD […] to try and take votes away from us,” he argued.
