If I had to consider a return to active politics, it would have to align with the idea that I had the obligation and the possibility to do something different. In the first television interview he gave since leaving the position of president of the PSD, conducted by journalist Maria João Avillez on SIC Notícias, Pedro Passos Coelho established the conditions he needs to see met to try to fight for power again. #PassosCoelho #PSD #PolíticaPortuguesa (translated)

Pedro Passos Coelho has positioned himself as a potential candidate for prime minister, highlighting the need for new approaches and reforms in critical areas of the country, and considering a possible return to active politics if the PSD does not succeed in the upcoming elections. #PassosCoelho #PSD #PolíticaPortuguesa (translated)

Pedro Passos Coelho says that he acknowledges he has the duty and responsibility to intervene in the public debate and admits that he would consider returning to active politics if he thought he could add something positive to the country. #PedroPassosCoelho #PSDNasEleições #SaúdePortugal (translated)

Once again we start this edition at 11 PM with former Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho, who says he has the duty and responsibility to intervene and also states that the PSD had the obligation to consider forming an alliance, Beatriz, with Chega. #Noticiário #Política #Irão (translated)

In the 11 PM edition of Rádio Observador, Pedro Passos Coelho advocates for an alliance between the PSD and Chega and criticizes the government's management, while the Justice system deals with a misunderstanding in the BES case and MURPI seeks answers about errors in pensions, in addition to an update on Iran and the United States regarding the Strait of Hormuz. #Noticiário #Política #Irão (translated)

We need a government. In the formation of a majority, as long as we take into account both the position of the PSD and the position of the PNL leader, Mr. Bolojan, the decisive factors remain the settlements in UDMR and in the National Liberal Party, which, as I said, is a kind of "Gordian knot" of this situation. Live on Antena 3 CNN, the former president of PNL, Crin Antonescu, stated that this is the last chance for the Romanian political scene to form a pro-Western or pro-European government. #Politic #Guvernare #România (translated)

"Romania needs a functional government, and PNL is open to contributing to its establishment. However, we will not accept repeating political formulas that have proven to be ineffective. The refusal to govern with PSD is not about pride or political calculations, but about the lesson we learned in the past year." On the other hand, interim Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan has ruled out a new governing formula alongside the social democrats, although he stated that PNL is willing to contribute to the establishment of a functional Government. #LucaNiculescu #PSD #PACE (translated)

Designated Prime Minister Luca Niculescu is negotiating on Monday, October 12, with representatives of USR, national minorities, and the political groups UPR and PACE for the formation of the future Government, while PSD will decide whether to support him in Parliament. #LucaNiculescu #PSD #PACE (translated)

Luca Niculescu, the designated prime minister, is facing an extremely narrow margin for maneuver in the negotiations for forming the government, given that the PSD decides on Monday whether to support the new executive and the pressure for transparency is increasing. #LucaNiculescu #NegocieriGuvern #PSD (translated)

"Romania needs a functional government, and PNL is open to contributing to its establishment. HOWEVER, we will not accept repeating political formulas that have proven ineffective. The refusal to govern with PSD is not about pride or political calculations, but about the lesson we have learned in the past year." On the other hand, interim Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan stated on Friday, October 9, that the National Liberal Party is willing to contribute to the formation of a functional government but excludes a new coalition with PSD. #PSD #Guvern #Politică (translated)

The author noted that Pedro Passos Coelho would give an interview to Maria João Avillez on SIC Notícias, between 9 PM and 10 PM, and argued that his governance should be reassessed in light of the financial conditions he encountered. According to the author, Portugal had already requested external assistance when Passos Coelho arrived at the Government in 2011, and the adjustment program of 78 billion euros had been negotiated before he took office. He maintained that during the legislature, exports rose from about one-third of GDP to nearly 40% in 2015, including tourism, and that the tourism sector gained strategic momentum. Regarding privatizations, he acknowledged that some operations were questionable and warranted scrutiny but argued that they allowed the collection of billions of euros, the amortization of public debt, and reduce financing needs and interest burdens. He also considered that cuts in the public sector were painful but questioned what the alternatives would have been when the State could no longer finance itself normally. The author further highlighted that Portugal completed the financial assistance program in 2014 and returned to market financing without a precautionary program, recovering, in his view, decision-making leeway. He stated that Passos Coelho was the most relevant politician of the century in Portugal for having made unpopular decisions and contributed to an economic change whose effects surpassed his Government. #Portugal #Política #Economia (translated)

The refusal to govern with PSD is not based on pride or political calculations, but on the lesson we have learned. In response, Ilie Bolojan stated that Romania needs a functional government, and PNL is open to contributing to its establishment, but refuses to repeat "political formulas that have proven not to work." #Guvernare #PSD #PNL (translated)

The participation of PNL in the government is not a favor done to PSD, but the correct decision for Romania. PSD has been coordinating a public pressure campaign against PNL for several days to convince it to return to government, after having removed it from power on May 5. #Guvernare #PSD #PNL (translated)

I am making a particular appeal to PNL and UDMR to demonstrate political maturity, to contribute to building a transparent majority if PSD's participation in the government or in this joint effort is desired. If we do not find ourselves in this economic project that we briefly announced and do not have a clear commitment from the other parties, PSD will not hesitate to say 'no' to this political endeavor. Normally, PSD should have been given the mandate to form a majority that invests a government, and we could have built a majority, if you will, around the idea of change, because 80% of Romanians are asking us for this change, and in the end, the parliamentarians cannot ignore this request. However, we have an appointment in the person of Mr. Niculescu. Therefore, my appeal is directed to the parties. They should let go of political egos and think more about the people, especially about the people who are watching us and waiting for solutions from us. The real confrontation should not take place on the political front between parties during this period,” declared Sorin Grindeanu. #Guvernare #LucaNiculescu #PoliticaRomână (translated)
