Luís Marques Mendes anticipates that in the presidential elections on January 24, Ana Gomes will be in second place, behind Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, who should be re-elected in the first round, and ahead of André Ventura.
“I admit it is Ana Gomes [em segundo lugar] But Ventura is close, ”he said, adding that the only Chega deputy has had additional help: the left and the right are campaigning for him.
“As seen this week in the decision to replace Ventura as deputy. A decision that is a legal and political disaster. Thus they give him a stage, they make him a victim and he grows in the polls, “said Marques Mendes.
In his usual comment on Jornal da Noite, on Sic Notícias, this Sunday, the commentator assures that “there are no big news” about the re-election of the current president. The main question is the percentage of votes with which they will win the elections: more or less than 60%. “Your biggest opponent will be abstention,” he said.
Regarding the presidential debates that began this Saturday on TVI24 and RTP, the commentator refers that there were two debates of two different natures: “One was a warm, cordial and civilized conversation,” he analyzed, referring to the debate between Marisa Matías. and Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa.
“The other debate, between Ventura and Joáo Ferreira, was a pitched battle. It reminded me of the first debate between Joe Biden and Trump ”, he continued referring to João Ferreira and André Ventura.
Still in an analysis of national politics, Marques Mendes predicts an eventual political crisis at the end of the year as “possible” but “not probable.” This is because, he argues, if the PCP “fails the municipalities” it may fear being sanctioned in early elections, opening a political crisis and if the municipal elections “go well” for the communists “they gain room for maneuver” in the budget discussion. .
