Passos Coelho, the former Prime Minister of Portugal, is re-emerging in the political landscape, outlining his political program and expressing a desire to return to leadership. His straightforward approach and frugal lifestyle set him apart from other leaders, making him a significant figure within the Portuguese right. Despite his silence during recent elections, his influence remains strong, as right-wing candidates seek his endorsement. The current government's challenges, particularly in healthcare, labor law, and housing, highlight the need for genuine reforms, which may be a focal point for Coelho's potential return to power.
