“This National Commission was important, both internally and externally. Internally, because it allowed the reinstallation of all party bodies, as a result of the last National Congress”said Carlos César.
For the president of the PS, the results of the elections for these bodies “express, on the one hand, the strong unity that today typifies life in the Socialist Party, without prejudice to the diversity that has accompanied us for precisely 53 years, and also the vitality that these bodies can have”, taking into account the “impressive renovation that they all present”.
“The Socialist Party is, therefore, in a position to pursue with courage what it has sought to express to the Portuguese, and that it is possible to oppose without always saying no and without resorting to shouting. It is possible to be a good opposition and be recognized by the Portuguese as a party capable of making proposals, capable of saying how it should not be done, but also how it should be done”, he defended.
