Santos urges PS members to cast a vote that's constructive in fighting the political spectrum identified as the Right.
Rebel Yell: Let's dive into the political fray of Évora, where the campaign trail is hotter than a summer's day in the Alentejo!
Here's the lowdown: Socialist Capoulas Santos rallied the troops in Évora, callin' out to all progressive minds to support the Socialist Party (PS) in the upcoming elections. And why you ask? Well, it seems the PS, though they've been reignin' supreme in the Assembly of the Republic for decades, have been feelin' the heat from the vote-splittin' among smaller parties, especially on the left.
Last time around, the PS and the Alentejo's other political circles—the AD and Chega—took one deputy each. A bit of a cheeky blow for the PS, even though they garnered nearly double the votes of the second-placed team.
Capoulas Santos remembered the last election's buzz like it was yesteryear, with polls predictin' Rui Rio's PSD would take the lead, only for the PS to pull off an unexpected win on election day.
Now, Capoulas Santos is girdin' up for another battle, this time with "serenity and conviction," trumpetin' the PS's proposals with "ambition and realism." You can bet they'll be contradictin' the AD's "demagogic" pledges and highlightin' the economic growth achieved under the PS.
Luís Dias, headlinin' the PS's list for Évora, echoed the call to vote, reminnin' us that there's only nine days left till election day. The race is on, and the PS aims to convince the undecided and stir up the supporters who haven't yet realized they need the PS to build a "development-based progress."
The candidate's promised good things if we back the PS: toll exemptions on the A6, a "great health cluster" for Évora, a long-awaited hospital, a medicine course at the University of Évora, and—drum roll, please—finally finishin' the IP2.
Stay tuned for more updates as the race intensifies! And just in case you're curious, here's a bit o' background: The PS has been the dominant force in Portuguese politics, pushin' for issues like economic recovery, social welfare, education, healthcare, environmental policies, and infrastructure development. But for the nitty-gritty details on the PS's performance and specific campaign issues in Évora, check out the local news or official party documents. Now, let's get back to the action!
