António Costa responded late on Tuesday afternoon to Pedro Passos Coelho’s statements.
“The bitterness deserves no comment. It must be very tiring to wait eight years for the devil to come,” said the outgoing prime minister.

Serious enough that the Prime Minister, as far as I can remember, was the only one who felt the need to dismiss him for indecent and bad appearance,” said the former chairman of the PSD.
Passos Coelho spoke to journalists at the entrance to the court, where he will testify as a witness in the trial of the EDP case, and also expressed the wish that Portugal’s situation could improve, warning that things “are not will improve without dedication, effort and some help.” conditions for this to happen.”
