Daniel Oliveira, commentator on SIC and columnist at Expresso, commented on the Expresso da Manhã program, hosted by Paulo Baldaia, on the political strategy of André Ventura. According to Oliveira, the passistas are using Ventura to wear down the government, in a reference to the supporters of Pedro Passos Coelho.
André Ventura has tried to bring the President of the Republic into the political-partisan debate, seeking to involve Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa in the current political controversy. This attempt to instrumentalize the head of state comes in a context of political tension.
António José Seguro warned that this is not the time for the President of the Republic to intervene directly in party life. Seguro categorically refuses the idea that anyone can speak on behalf of the President or represent his position in the political debate.
The situation reflects the complex dynamics between the different parties and political figures in Portugal, with Ventura potentially serving as an instrument for interests aimed at weakening António Costa's socialist executive.
