Rui Rio: "Have you ever wondered if instead of one, there were four or five Alberto João out of this country?"

The old and the new PSD-Madeira signed peace in the Herdade do Chão da Lagoa and even Rio Rui abandoned national issues and put emphasis on Madeira where the # 39 next year there are regional elections and polls the PS. The national leader insisted on the importance of the party's regional party, he said, until "a leader who wants to become prime minister goes through Lago da Lagoa". And this requirement is already fulfilled when he made his debut in speeches and tent tours, to try puncha, liquors and snacks, but he clearly explained what was coming.

What brought him there was solidarity with the Maderians. public debt interest, social mobility allocation, poor public service of the APR and support to the party for the regional elections next year. Rui Rio recalled that "a winning team does not move" and that the PSD has shown, in these 40 years of power in the region, that it is a team winner. Before April 25, 1974 and autonomy, there was no difference between the archipelago and the interior of the country, he explained.

This success is due, according to Rio, to Alberto João Jardim, who is not only a great Social Democrat but a great Portuguese. The leader of the PSD went even further. "Have you ever wondered if instead of one, there were four or five Alberto Joao for this country outside?" Garden, who went to the party and listened to the speeches of the tour, thanked him, but it was not the only public compliment of the afternoon. Miguel Albuquerque once had to thank "our great leader, who preferred to be in the care of the new generations and the JSD."

Once signed the internal peace, Albuquerque unearths the old strategy of the PSD-Madeira and throws himself to the Republic and the government of the craft, which he accuses of disrespecting the Madeirs. And he was not spared in words, called "shitty socialists" who drove the country into bankruptcy, which "came to power without winning elections" and imposed the highest tax burden these last years. New, "there are trains to stop and hospitals have no way to cure the sick."

The same who want to come to power in Madeira, "are a series of individuals" who, in fact, "are only squatting" for Lisbon. An example of this behavior was, according to Albuquerque, the vote against the amendment to the mobility allowance. The PS voted against, including the deputies of PS-Madeira, that the head of the PSD said "to be even ashamed to say that they are MPs from Madeira". Yet polls put the Socialists very close to the Social Democrats. Miguel Albuquerque pointed out, "the best investigation was the crowd at the Herdade do Chão da Lagoa, but he pointed out that in the party, they" wait for them. "

In the presence, Jardim, the most enthusiastic of the militants," V "of the victory and repeatedly shouted" I just want to see Miguel the President. "The disagreements between the two generated by the conflict on the direction of the party appear to be in order.

The return of Jardim

The two years of rest made no difference and Alberto João Jardim stole all the scenes within a few minutes in which he appeared in Chão da Lagoa alongside Rui Rio and Miguel Albuquerque.The former leader of the Social Democrats welcomed the party where he had not been since 2015, when he left the party and the regional government. now put the PSD forward, but almost on par with the PS and Garden wanted to give the example of unity.It is with Rio and with Albuquerque and just like him, even confessed that he "already missed."

Within 15 minutes who waited for guests – the place where the party is held is the property of the Democratic Social Foundation and Garden is the president of the foundation – has shown that at age 75, he continues to put on his chest the sticker in saying "I am of PPD with great pride" and to say that between the "PSD and Portugal there is a cultural osmosis" they change and there is a distance. It's the old question of being and the time put by German philosophers, he explained before starting to distribute the kisses that asked for it, while saying that he was not going to be there. was not breathing to return by the tents, only for some. He said that he had seen better days and the answer came quickly: "I have seen better days, but do not turn my back." There was laughter and Jardim took advantage of the opportunity to sing and dance with a trio of alto, rajão and accordion passing by. He kissed another lady who boasted about her perfume and another who said that like Alberto Joao there was more. Asked about the Robles case, he preferred to say that the Left Bloc is a "petty bourgeoisie" party that is not at the PS and that the PCP does not want them.

Around the tents, he followed the first and stopped eucalyptus and decided to play with the aphrodisiac peculiarities of the said. Or rather "the aphrodisiacs are for the doctors, repeat with me the eucalyptus liquor, it's good for …". The rest was stifled by the group that touched "who's there, who does not think it's the PSD to make the wood work". The song was repeated during the tour of over 50 booths of party organizations. He gave leadership to the leaders and made the party a simple militant among the 20,000 that the organization says is in the Herdade do Chão da Lagoa

"I am a social democrat and, for a socialist Democrat, people have "and that's why he joined the JSD and heard the speeches of Rio and Albuquerque in the front row, where he jumped, sang" I missed my merry house "and shouted" I just want to see Miguel the President. "And even here, in the middle of the tour, far from the scene where he often burned national politics, he was the best picture of the day, the hand in victory, clad in orange shouting that "Those who do not jump do not jump."
