The article addresses the trap of believing that politics requires simplicity on the part of politicians. The author reflects on the idea that it is not necessary for politicians to be easy to deal with or to have likability as their main characteristic.
The text specifically mentions the politicians Soares and Sá Carneiro, suggesting that the author does not consider them to have been easy people to live with. However, the article argues that this is not a quality that should be expected of a politician.
The text appears to be an opinion-based reflection on the demand for simplicity and accessibility in politics, questioning whether these attributes are really necessary or desirable in political figures. The central message is that difficulty in dealing with others or lack of likability should not be criteria for evaluating a politician's competence or suitability.
