Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa denied having the objective of exceeding 70.35% of the votes with which Mário Soares was re-elected President of the Republic in 1991, reducing this idea to “madness” during the interview he granted to the SIC this Friday , having been the first since he announced that he will seek a second term in the presidential elections scheduled for January 24, 2021.
“I have various defects, but I am not stupid or crazy,” said Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, to whom the ICS / ISCTE poll published this Friday by “Expresso” attributes 66% of the voting intentions. A result devalued by the candidate, because “until the last day, the Portuguese are free to vote.”
Assuring that “Soares is unrepeatable”, the reelection candidate stressed that the statesman who died in 2017, at the age of 92, had the support of the PSD, “which at that time was worth around 50%”, and of the PS, ” that it was% ”, adding another factor that he considers decisive:“ At that time there was no pandemic ”.
In his opinion, these are reasons that make it impossible to exceed the highest voting threshold in terms of the percentage obtained by a President of the Republic. “Anyone see this. You don’t have to be a genius, ”he said.
