The next state of emergency, which will begin after January 7, will only last one week. The understanding is signed between the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister and that is what Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa will propose to the parties, in the hearings next Monday at the Palace of Belém, when he puts on the table another renewal of that period . exception. As the Observer said earlier this Wednesday, this renewal will happen now, even without a prior meeting with experts, and will last until epidemiological data is available to assess the effect of relief measures at Christmas. Only then will the situation be reviewed and measurements calibrated. If the state of emergency is maintained, Marcelo will thus be able to focus as a candidate in the last days of the campaign without interruptions to show off the President’s skin.

This solution found by the Prime Minister and the President of the Republic will make it possible to resolve the issue of the emergency in the first week of the electoral campaign, emptying the second and last week of this issue. Anyway, for this one-week renewal, Marcelo will no longer speak to the country orally, only a written message will be published on the website of the Presidency, precisely to avoid collages between the president and the candidate in the electoral period. .

“The next state of emergency will only last a week,” he guarantees in Belém while ensuring that a published presidential note will not be missing. In other words, the next state of emergency will last between January 8 and 15, the first week of the Presidential elections. It is in this that Marcelo hopes that the matter will be fixed, with the Infarmes meeting on the 12th and the decisions that must be made to emerge in the next few days. Either the relief of the measures, or a possible renewal of the state of emergency.

If the decision is to maintain the state of emergency, then the duration will again be 15 days, and the presidential decree and the message will be known shortly after the Infarmed meeting, and Parliament will then vote for it to take effect. this week until after the presidential elections scheduled for January 24. In this scenario, the ninth state of emergency would already be in force between January 16 and 30, which would allow Marcelo to be campaigning without mixing functions every week and especially without a renewal even at the peak of the elections, as would happen. If the state of emergency that comes into effect next week and lasts the usual 15 days (maximum term).

The eighth state of emergency caused by the pandemic will be the first to last only a week and will be interrupted by a meeting of the Infarmed where the President of the Republic has already said that he would also like his opponents to be present in the race to Belém. However, from the Prime Minister, who is the one who makes the invitations to these sessions with the experts and, according to the Observer, Marcelo has already ordered this sermon to António Costa.
