Marques Mendes: “The Minister of Justice issued the death certificate to Lucília Gago. It was a casting error, it won’t be missed.”
In the week that António Costa was elected to lead the European Council, LuÃs Marques Mendes states that it was a “good choice for Europe, for Portugal and for LuÃs Montenegro”. The commentator believes that the former prime minister has the right profile for the position, since “even those in Portugal who think he was not a good PM, always recognized that he was a politician with a great capacity for dialogue and negotiation”. Cavaco Silva wrote an article in Expresso highlighting the country’s “opportunity to grow”, which will be “more difficult with a minority government”. Despite agreeing with the perspective of the former President of the Republic, Marques Mendes considers that “in the short term it is not desirable to have early elections”. The commentator also addresses Lucília Gago’s mandate as Attorney General of the Republic, which “will not be missed”, and the pact for Justice between PS and PSD, in this broadcast on June 29, on SIC .
