"I have great difficulty in respecting 'Calimero' attitudes from politicians"

CNN Portugal5 September 2026 at 22:26

Pedro Costa, in his "Truth and Consequence" segment, comments on the controversy involving the Minister of Internal Administration, Luís Neves. The title of the piece reveals Costa's critical stance, as he states he has great difficulty in respecting attitudes he characterizes as "Calimero-like" on the part of politicians. The expression "Calimero attitude" refers to a behavior of self-victimization or constant complaining, associated with the cartoon character. The "Truth and Consequence" segment appears to be a space where Pedro Costa addresses political issues with a tone of direct analysis.
