Right will not deliver power, even in case of PS victory
This is the campaign of all or nothing for Luís Montenegro and Pedro Nuno Santos. Both know that on the results on May 18 depends on their future in the short and medium term. But the dispute between right block and block on the left is not just the protagonism of the two leaders. Behind the scenes there are other accounts without taboos, no red lines.
Several socialist voices heard this week by Sunrise They were very skeptical in the face of the possibility of a socialist government to take office, even in case of victory. Why? Because the right, which will surely be majority in Parliament after the elections, will not leave.
The same reading has several voices on the side of AD. The most uncompromised say it publicly, as was the case with Miguel Relvas this week in an interview with the newspaper Public: «The PSD has an obligation to lead. If the PSD is in second place and there is a major -right majority, the PSD has to assume its responsibilities » And in the same interview the warning left, «We will not deliver power to a folk left».
The express opinion of a living voice by the old right arm of Passos Coelho is shared by other social democrats heard by our newspaper, many of them committed to AD. «It is fiction to deliver power to the PS and be in Parliament to raise us in the votes next to the PCP, the block and the free. This does not exist, if AD does not earn but there is a major right, there will be a government solution »guarantees a deputy.
In this scenario, Luís Montenegro necessarily leaves the scene and there are several hypotheses of replacement on the table. Some consider that within the government itself there are solutions, which have the advantage of having gone to votes, names like Aguiar Branco, Paulo Rangel, Pinto Luz and Leitão Amaro. And if the president does not accept? « Then, when the same political force assuming the government, the current manage is in management another three months, until the PSD elects a new leader who assumes a right-wing government. »answer us, adding that this may be the occasion for the return of Passos Coelho.
