Our Lady of Bethlehem, intercede for us

SAPO Notícias7 September 2026 at 17:43

The article is a political commentary addressing the intervention of the Portuguese President in the country's political dynamics. The title references Our Lady of Bethlehem, alluding to the President's figure, whose official residence is the Belém Palace.

The text refers to António José Seguro, leader of the Socialist Party, describing him as someone whom the losers of each political moment attempt to invoke to rebalance the situation in their favor, regardless of whether they are on the left or the right.

The commentary suggests that such attempts are counterproductive, because by requesting Seguro's intervention to resolve political impasses, the losers are, without realizing it, asking for the country to become politically more backward.

The article appears to be a critique of the tendency of some political sectors to resort to the President's figure to resolve political issues that should be resolved through the usual democratic channels.
