Latest news and stories about psd in culture in Portugal for expats and residents.
André Ventura, leader of Chega, has called for a constitutional revision to overcome what he describes as a blockade by the Constitutional Court, while accusing the PSD of being overly aligned with the Socialist Party. The PSD has dismissed these claims as a childish tantrum.
The former prime minister said he might not have run for a second term in Figueira da Foz, but wanted to keep his commitment to the city. He also argued that Cavaco Silva was the best leader of the PSD.
Respect for women is a subject she has long held dear. A week ago, she received a standing ovation in the Assembly of the Republic following a confrontation with André Ventura. However, in 2017, she failed to be elected to the Intelligence Services Oversight Council, and in 2019, she disagreed with the then-leader of the PSD, Rui Rio. On the 5th, her election was nearly unanimous, with the exception of Chega, who walked out of the parliamentary plenary session.
The Prime Minister attended the wake of Nuno Morais Sarmento on Monday night. Luís Montenegro speaks of a “difficult farewell” and highlights the “fighting spirit” of the former minister and PSD leader.
The former leader of the PSD, Manuela Ferreira Leite, said today that Marques Mendes has everything it takes to be “a great President of the Republic”, admitting she has a “biased view because she is a tifosi of the PSD”.
Alarm bells are ringing in Marques Mendes's campaign. A result below 20% would be the worst ever for a candidate supported by the PSD. Will it happen?

A 'great commotion' in the Assembly of the Republic after a PSD MP pointed his finger at a Chega MP. The cameras had been focused on Aguiar-Branco, and there are already complaints: 'Curiously, these things are never filmed.'
João Cotrim de Figueiredo replied to Luís Marques Mendes by bringing up a news item in which the Social Democrat also called Pedro Passos Coelho a 'weathervane'.
There are figures in Portuguese politics who, even after they step down from the stage, continue to shape the narrative. Luís Marques Mendes is one of them, having become an unavoidable presence in Portuguese political life for almost five decades.
Ventura says Cavaco Silva is “wrong” about Sá Carneiro, considers himself the least harmed by strategic voting and says “Mendes is not even the PSD's candidate, he is the candidate of Montenegrismo”.
André Ventura says Cavaco Silva does not own Sá Carneiro's ideals and that Sá Carneiro is not exclusive to the PSD. Also, Marques Mendes downplays the poll result that places him in fifth place.
Former President calls it 'intolerable' that Gouveia e Melo, Ventura and Cotrim — whom he says are at the 'antipodes' of the PSD founder — want to 'rewrite' history to 'attack' Marques Mendes.
