“It is sad for the People’s Youth and for democracy.” This is how Francisco Camacho, leader of the Juventude Popular, classifies this Sunday, the day Adriano Moreira died. He was 100 years old.
Francisco Camacho tells DN that “Professor Adriano Moreira was a great master of Portuguese politics, a senator. It is a sad day, but with such a long life it was certainly a fulfilled life, full and full of personal achievements.”
“The image he leaves is that of a man who did not resign and left his mark on the population, even one who has always been involved with the most disadvantaged social classes, which shows that it is not something exclusive to some political circles.” he says. .
Recognizing that “when one leaves, he is always recognized as extraordinary,” the CDS-PP youth leader reiterates “that in this case it is.” From your perspective, Adriano Moreira “was also someone with the ability to constantly update himself and with a fantastic clarity”.
As a leader of a youth party, Francisco Camacho also recognizes the role and signs that Adriano Moreira leaves in the younger generations: “There are mainly three ideas. The first is social action, which the teacher always has the weakest. To lead the world, looked always carefully from Portugal to the world and to the CPLP and the PALOP [foi, recorde-se, ministro do Ultramar no Estado Novo]and, finally, the aforementioned “ability to update itself and keep up with the times.”
In short, says the leader of the People’s Youth, “Professor Adriano Moreira was a senator. It is a great loss to the political system and to Portuguese democracy, especially for the role he played in the transition from the Estado Novo to the democratic regime. He showed deep down that the political system can be free and he also dared to challenge the most left-wing political quadrant, by having a more right-wing mindset that he had always maintained.”
