« The people want this government and do not want another »

In his victory speech on the election night, Luís Montenegro considered that the result demonstrates that “the people want this government and do not want another. The people want this Prime Minister and do not want another. The people want this government and this Prime Minister to respect and dialogue with the oppositions. But also want oppositions to respect and dialogue with this government and this Prime Minister.

The leader of AD considered that « the Portuguese no longer want early elections, » they rather want « a four -year legislature and demand that everyone honor their free and democratic word. » According to Montenegro, « to the government and the PM it is necessary to apply the program and be at height », arguing that « the oppositions must respect and fulfill the popular will. »

Asked by the journalists if he will continue to say « not no » on arrival, Luís Montenegro replied: « This was a great victory. We have more votes, more mandates and multiply by 10 the difference between the first and the second classified of these elections. » He added: « This majority is a major majority than we had a year ago and Portugal is a country with economic, financial and social stability. It is up to all who have received a mandate from the people who have political stability. »

« It does not seem to me that there is another government solution that emanates from the will of the Portuguese people today manifested. » And he shot, « From an arithmetic point of view it would be possible only a PS coalition with the arrival. As this does not seem possible to give expression to the will of the people. »

Montenegro also left the guarantee: “As for our commitments we have already shown that we have a word and we fulfill our word. I will not contribute to being here to theorize. Within the commitments I assumed in the ad and in the spirit of yes, but Portugal will prevail the meaning of responsibility”.

About Spinunviva, he stated that « the motion of trust that the people addressed to the government is sufficient for everyone to assume their responsibilities, show respect for the will of the Portuguese and maturity of their political forces and democracy. It will be an exercise that no one will understand if politicians are not able to interpret the will of the people. »

The AD leader stressed that « the Portuguese no longer want early elections » but « a four -year legislature and require everyone to honor their free and democratic word. »

« The government and the prime minister is responsible for applying the program and being up to it, » says Luís Montenegro, arguing that « the oppositions must respect and fulfill the popular will. »

Luís Montenegro also left promises. « We will continue to value the work and income of the Portuguese. With more investment we will create more wealth to combat poverty and ensure prosperity and social justice. We will continue to bet on the youth we want to retain and maintain in Portugal and with which we count to create more wealth. »

The leader of the most voted political force in these elections also said: “We will continue to value public administration workers. A more qualified public administration will be more efficient and will serve the citizen and the economy more” and “we will continue to save the social state, from health to education, from housing to mobility. More fighting severe crime and corruption. Security forces and armed forces ”.

Luís Montenegro shot: « Those who work more and produce more have to have just retribution for their performance. We will not fail as we do not fail to our retired and pensioners who had a working life. »
