Sebastião Bugalho, PSD spokesperson, accused Chega of having nothing concrete to present to the country. In an interview with SIC Notícias, Bugalho stated that André Ventura's party only presents initiatives with the objective of "making noise" and generating media impact, without substantive contributions to national issues.
The social-democrat spokesperson added that Chega's proposals regarding the cost of living will be rejected, considering that they do not present viable solutions to the economic problems of Portuguese citizens.
Beyond criticisms of Chega, Sebastião Bugalho also directed attacks at PS, accusing the socialists of adopting a misleading discourse. This position fits within the context of political tensions between Portugal's main parties, with PSD positioning itself as an alternative to both the left and the right.
The interview with SIC Notícias comes at a time when relations between parties are particularly marked by disagreements over measures to combat the increase in the cost of living, a central theme in the current political debate.
