PSD president Rui Rio is receiving criticism within and outside his party after writing a cheep Ironic when referring to a recent survey and where he ended up talking about the death of Ihor Homenyuk, the Ukrainian citizen who died at the Humberto Delgado airport in Lisbon, as a result of the attacks suffered during an arrest by the SEF.

The topic was the ISCTE and ICS survey for Expresso and SIC, where 49% of those surveyed rated the Government’s performance as “very good” and where the PS presents 39% of voting intentions, two percentage points more than the previous survey. Rui Rio reacted ironically, hinting at his opinion that these numbers are implausible. “It is more than evident that, in view of the latest political events, the Government and the PS can only be going up,” he said, and then made a mention of the Ihor Homenyuk case: “Another death at the airport and ‘the thing’ goes to an absolute majority. Force it! “. In the end, Rui Rio too emoji festive.

OR cheep It was published at 8:16 p.m. on Thursday and has since been criticized, which has emerged both from within the PSD and from outside the party led by Rui Rio.

Within the PSD there are criticisms from militants who on other occasions have made clear their differences and disagreements with the current party leader. Among them is Hugo Soares, who headed the PSD parliamentary bench between 2017 and 2018, and left shortly after the election of Rui Rio as party president.

“Portugal deserves more,” he wrote on Facebook, in a Send closed to friends. “The political irresponsibility of MAI was no longer enough [ministro da Administração Interna] and the prime minister]… now the lack of sense of the state of the president of my party “.

Still within the PSD, and also belonging to the group of dissatisfied with the current leadership, there is another important militant: Teresa Morais, who was already vice president of the party, as well as Secretary of State for Parliamentary Affairs in the first term of Pedro Passos Coelho and, in the second and short government headed at least by the governor, he was Minister of Culture, Equality and Citizenship.

“I was expecting a denial, an explanation, the recognition of a slip… But no. There are days when I need to repeat in a low voice what a brilliant member of my party once told me: ‘Come in … we stay!’ “Wrote the former minister on Facebook.

I waited for a denial, an explanation, the recognition of a slip … But no. There are days when I need to repeat …

Also in social networks, but outside the PSD, there were more voices to criticize Rui Rio. On Twitter, the PS deputy and elected leader of the Socialist Youth, Miguel Costa Matos, openly criticized the Social Democrat on Twitter.

“How unpleasantly lighthearted is the way that Rui Rio refers to the murder of Ihor Homenyuk. Unfortunately it is just one more statement, joining Portugal does not suffer from racism, etc. Etc. When do decent people in PSD draw the necessary consequences? There must be a limit! “, Wrote.

Also from the PS, but more telegraphically, he reacted Tiago Barbosa Ribeiro, deputy in the Assembly of the Republic. First, he wrote: “What an indignity to Tweet.

Hours later, Tiago Barbosa Ribeiro compared Rui Rio’s first tweet about the survey published in Expresso with a cheep André Ventura on the same topic. In view of the results in question compared to the last survey (PSD declining at 25%; remains at 7%), both leaders reacted ironically by saying: “How boring.” Tiago Barbosa Ribeiro pointed out the similarity between tweets.
