President of the Republic urged to quell, as suggested by Inês Sousa Real

Rewritten Article:

It's election time in Portugal, and political analyst Inês Sousa Real isn't holding back her thoughts about the major parties, PSD and PS. In a conversation on the campaign trail at the Casa da Música metro station, she expressed her displeasure with both parties, claiming they've been toothless in stabilizing the country.

Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, the current President of Portugal, wants to appoint a government where the program is viable in parliament – a consideration he sees as crucial. However, Inês Sousa Real feels there's a hint of Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa swaying voters towards a tactical one due to his comments.

PAN's spokesperson presses Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa to remember that he represents all the people of Portugal, with the early elections being solely due to Luís Montenegro's failure to keep his personal life away from business matters.

"People are fed up with the major parties," proclaims Inês Sousa Real, hinting at the anger she hears on the streets. She encourages voters to go with their hearts and vote for parties they believe in, debunking the notion that a few extra votes for PSD or PS will change their lives.

The elections are happening without completing the full four-year legislative cycle, making it essential for people to vote for parties that have delivered, such as PAN. Inês Sousa Real asserts that PAN offers an alternative to the instability contributed to, in her opinion, by the President of the Republic himself.

21 political forces are competing in these early elections, including AD (PSD/CDS-PP), PS, Chega, IL, BE, CDU (PCP/PEV), Livre, PAN, ADN, RIR, JPP, PCTP/MRPP, Nova Direita, Volt Portugal, Ergue-te, Nós, Cidadãos!, PPM, PLS, MPT, PTP, and PSD/CDS/PPM in the autonomous regions.

As for Pedro Nuno, he warns that an alliance between AD and IL could lead to a radical coalition – a topic of interest amid the broader political landscape of Portugal.

Insights:

  • The PSD, led by Luís Montenegro, and the PS are facing criticism for their leadership's involvement in scandals and perceived connections to the political establishment.
  • Chega, a right-wing populist party, has gained traction by positioning itself as an anti-establishment and anti-corruption force. However, the party faces criticism for its lack of transparency and unreliable polls on social media.
  • Major parties like the PSD and PS face disillusioned voters due to perceived elitism, lack of transparency, and inability to stabilize the country.
