And everything Ventura took – notes about the electoral night
There are two clear winners in today’s electoral night: Luís Montenegro and André Ventura.
The prime minister, whose government fell following the case involving the family business, sees his confirmed and reinforced legitimacy.
From the point of view of transparency, the way it managed this crisis-deriving themselves to give the explanations that were required-left much to be desired. But from a strictly political point of view it was a master’s move.
What could have been a start -up that threatened a periclitting government eventually turned a poor, tangential majority, a much more comfortable majority. And gets the registration clean.
But it is André Ventura, no doubt, the great winner of these elections.
The arrival is a true gale that entered politics without asking for permission and swept the country from top to bottom.
Even these elections, the Taco Taco dispute with the PS was unimaginable. Now that both parties have elected 58 deputies, it is likely to have a few days ago, with the vows of the circle of emigration, the arrival over the PS. It would be (is it?) A true national scandal.
Given the results, tonight was wondered a lot if ‘no no’ from Montenegro when he will keep. The question, in fact, does not make much sense: With this strategy did the PSD won reinforced its vote, why would it change position?
As for IL, he was the victim of the useful vote – but not much. It is felt that, by the campaign that made Rui Rocha, could have grown more. Many voters, in doubt, will have given their vote to AD.
Free confirmed Rui Tavares’ good performance in the campaign and debates – and already has a remarkable parliamentary group. It is the third winner of the night.
In the ‘Afflicted’ Championship, the PCP is still in loss and does not admire the yellow smile of Paulo Raimundo.
But for the left block it was a true Hecatombe. The despair had already been realized when they rescued Francisco Loução for the campaign. Did not result.
Finally, Pedro Nuno Santos had no alternative to dismissal. This was the worst result of the PS in recent decades. Montenegro, like his predecessor António Costa, is revealing an excellent manager of power.
