António Capucho: "It does not have to be more radical"

Observador3 September 2026 at 18:50

António Capucho, former secretary-general of the PSD, considered that the Government does not need to adopt a more radical stance. In a political commentary on the current situation, the former party leader argued that the executive should reconsider its relationship with the Chega party.

Capucho expressed support for the Government moving closer to the PS, suggesting that this rapprochement would be more beneficial than a more radical strategy. This position arises in the context of a broader debate about the political strategy of the current executive.

Regarding Luís Neves, Capucho advocated for his departure from the executive, but not in isolation. In his view, Luís Neves's departure should be part of a broader government reshuffle that would involve other changes in the executive.

The article comes at a time of reflection on the PSD's political direction and its relations with other parties in the Portuguese political spectrum, particularly with Chega and with the PS.
