Mariana Leitão "very satisfied" with Passos's words and asks Montenegro to listen to IL

Now14 September 2026 at 19:54

Mariana Leitão, president of Iniciativa Liberal (IL), stated she is "very satisfied" with the declarations of Passos Coelho. The liberal leader asked that Luís Montenegro, leader of PSD, listen to IL.

The president of IL did not answer which points she sees more convergences with PSD, in order to facilitate the viability of her proposals. This lack of response leaves unclear how she intends to concretize this collaboration.

The article does not specify exactly what were Passos Coelho's words that generated Mariana Leitão's satisfaction. Nor are more details revealed about the political context in which these declarations were made.

Why this matters

This news is relevant for readers in Portugal because it indicates possible dynamics of approaching between Iniciativa Liberal and PSD, two parties with potential for parliamentary cooperation. Leitão's request to Montenegro suggests that IL is looking for a direct dialogue channel with the main right-wing party, which may influence future alliances or legislative understandings.
