Chega’s president set the goal this Thursday in the expected parliamentary elections to “stay ahead” of the PSD/CDS-PP coalition and “lead the next parliament to the right”, declaring that “the PSD will not reaches’. with the parliamentary support of He arrives”.
André Ventura met with the mayor of Porto, Rui Moreira, in Paços do Concelho, and at the end of the meeting he told journalists that he would take “a big gamble” on early parliamentary elections in the northern districts, especially in Porto, where in the last elections it only managed to be the fifth political force, while in the overall results it finished in third place.
‘Chega wants to remain at the head of the coalition [PSD/CDS-PP] and lead the next parliament on the right. This is our goal. It is an ambitious target and the polls still leave us a few points behind the coalition.”he said, admitting that in districts like Porto “it will be a more difficult fight”, but that this meeting requested by Rui Moreira is “the first point of several presences”.
Regarding the fact that the president of the PSD, Luís Montenegro, refused any agreement with Chega, Ventura replied that the “Reality is stronger than fiction” and that’s what “There will be two majority parties on the right”Chega and PSD, and the Social Democrats “they know that, just like in the Azores, they will have to deal with the situation as it exists”.
“It’s not worth saying ‘no, no, no’ when the Portuguese say ‘yes, yes, yes'”he considered.
When asked what he will do if Montenegro maintains its refusal regarding Chega, the party leader refused to answer several times, but reiterated that “That didn’t happen, so it won’t happen now.”.
“That’s like asking me this: What if Jesus Christ appears here before you tomorrow: kneels or gives him a kiss? I don’t know. It’s so ridiculous, it doesn’t make sense.”he said, emphasizing that if there is a right-wing majority, there must be a government with the participation of Chega.
For Ventura, if this is not possible, this right-wing government “It is a sign that a huge irresponsibility has befallen this country and whoever does this will, as the Middle Ages said, be responsible for ruling the PS again for a thousand years”.
“The PSD will not reach the government with Chega’s parliamentary support, that will not happen”he assured.
