The PSD chairman said he would clarify possible policies of post-election coalitions “when there are elections”, saying he would disagree with parties “anti-NATO, anti-Europe or with xenophobic or racist policies” .
In an interview with the Negócios da Semana program, on SIC Notícias, on Wednesday night, and asked if he admits to having made parliamentary or government agreements with the Chega party, Luís Montenegro assured that he will make this matter clear when he “it contemplates”. appropriate”, implying that it will be in the election campaign.
“If there are elections, I will tell the Portuguese what I will do. I will not do like the current prime minister who gave Portugal a government that the Portuguese did not want,” Luís Montenegro said.
And while addressing the camera directly, he added, “I know you’re not worried about Chega, like I’m not. When we get to the election campaign I will be very clear and there is one thing you can know now: I do not agree with anti-European, anti-Nato, pro-Russian parties or parties that have xenophobic and racist policies. But we’re not going to get ahead of things and we’re not going to spoil our message.”
Asked whether the government can stay in office if the PSD wins the 2024 European elections, Luís Montenegro again referred this assessment to the president of the republic.
“I have no votes to overthrow the government, I admit that if there is insurmountable instability in the country, if the government remains completely incapable, the President of the Republic will have to act accordingly. Do I want that to happen? No “I don’t want, I want the government to rule and stick to your program. I don’t see much capacity to do it,” he said.
