SAPO Notícias29 August 2026 at 14:09

Paulo Portas, former CDS-PP leader, remembered Narana Coissoró today after his death, describing him as "an exceptional parliamentarian and a great politician". Portas particularly highlighted Coissoró's ability to build consensus among different political forces.

The former centrist leader emphasized the "art for agreement and compromise" practiced by Narana Coissoró throughout his political career. This quality allowed him to mediate positions between the various parties represented in parliament.

Narana Coissoró was a relevant figure in Portuguese politics, having dedicated much of his life to parliamentary work. His death marks the disappearance of a well-known voice for his capacity for dialogue and negotiation.
