Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa recalls that five days before the Festa do Avante “the position of the health authorities on the rules that they believe should preside over the [sua] Realization. “That is,” there is no timely knowledge, there is no clarity, because for there to be clarity it is necessary to know what the rules are. “And it is not possible to know that the principle of equality is respected in relation to what is going to happen. ”.
The President of the Republic concludes: “I think this is not good. It is not good for the State. Basically, DGS means State. It is a General Directorate within the State.” Furthermore, this lack of definition of rules “is not good for those who organize.” And “in general it is not good for credibility, which is fundamental at the moment. We are in the middle of a pandemic. Values have risen a lot lately. More than on other occasions, it was necessary to clearly know the rules of the game.” And that can be compared with other situations. It’s not possible. And that worries me. It does not bode well at this distance ”.
Marcelo, who spoke to journalists when he visited the Monchique spa in the Algarve, also said that he did not expect to arrive five days before the Festa do Avante without knowing the rules of the game.
The president also spoke about other matters, such as the British Government’s air corridor to the Algarve: “Currently there are no circumstances that justify a reversal of the last 10-day decision of the United Kingdom in relation to Portugal.” And he adds: “It cannot be said that the number of cases [positivos] in the Algarve it has a significant weight in the national number “.
He also touched on some political issues of the moment. On the statements of Prime Minister António Costa in the interview with Expresso -who pressured the former partners of ‘gadget’ for an agreement on the approval of the State budget and that the day the government depends on the PSD, this executive will It’s over- Marcelo said: “Each one of the politicians has their media agenda, their tactics. The president’s plan is above that. And since the president has a knife and cheese in his hand, there will be no crisis of dissolution. It depends on the president. “. It doesn’t depend on anyone else. “
The President of the Republic did not want to talk yet about his reevaluation of Belém, or the opinion of António Costa that he would consider “dramatic” if Marcelo does not run again. Marcelo informed journalists that he would not go ahead with this re-election until October, since the presidential elections will only be held in January next year and there is a pandemic in the middle.
