The article addresses the apparent contradiction in the Portuguese political scene: although nobody wants elections, political leaders seem to be provoking or seeking a political crisis. The piece focuses on two main characters: Carneiro and Luís Montenegro.
Carneiro is described as the political leader least anxious for elections, demonstrating a calm and unhurried posture. The article suggests that he believes time works in his favor in the current political situation.
In contrast, Luís Montenegro appears in the opposite position. According to the analysis presented, time represents Montenegro's greatest enemy, suggesting that a prolongation of the current situation harms him politically.
The title and body of the article reveal a central paradox: why, if nobody wants elections, are almost all political actors pushing the system toward a crisis?
