The President of the Republic, António José Seguro, announced that his first Open Presidency will take place during the week of April 6 in the central regions affected by the severe weather in February. According to a note published this Sunday, March 15, on the Presidency of the Republic's website, the initiative covers the districts of Castelo Branco, Coimbra, Leiria and Santarém, which were hard hit by storms that caused significant human and material damage. The goal, the Presidency states, is to listen to the populations, witness the impacts of the severe weather, and assess the needs for response and recovery in the affected areas. The detailed programme for this first Open Presidency by António José Seguro will be released later. António José Seguro: 'I will be a demanding president. Fewer words, more actions.' António José Seguro states that Portugal is a whole and a country where everyone counts.
