Seguro is the best candidate for President

At a time when the country is facing major challenges, I believe that António José Seguro is the ideal candidate to be the next President of the Republic. His proven ability to promote compromise and dialogue between the different political forces makes him the right choice to unite Portugal.

Throughout his political career, Seguro has demonstrated a rare ability to build consensus and bring parties together to find concrete solutions. This skill is essential to meet the expectations of the Portuguese people, especially in critical areas such as housing for young people and access to healthcare, where effective responses are urgently needed.

António José Seguro’s diverse political experience as a member of parliament, MEP, party leader, businessman, academic and government official gives him in-depth knowledge of the workings of national and European institutions, as well as the complex challenges facing the country. This experience is essential to ensure an informed and effective presidency, capable of making informed decisions in times of uncertainty.

Seguro is a consistent defender of institutional balance, avoiding the concentration of powers and promoting democratic oversight without the excessive ego shown by the current occupant of the presidential office. In a context of increasing polarization, his appreciation of plurality and cooperation between different political sectors is essential to maintain the country's stability.

The social and economic sensitivity that António José Seguro has always demonstrated is another of his great assets. Throughout his career, he has shown genuine concern for the real problems of citizens: from the difficulties faced by young people to the bureaucracy affecting small farmers, and the need to support national production sectors. His proposals for creative solutions and his commitment to encouraging national production are essential to generating employment and economic value.

Seguro's independence from traditional party structures is an undeniable asset. His progressive profile, free from constraints and capable of presenting himself as an alternative for change and renewal, allows him to mobilize different sectors of society and respond better to current challenges.

António José Seguro has shown himself to be someone capable of uniting and promoting national cohesion, valuing the country's identity and encouraging hope for a better future. His ability to inspire and value Portugal's potential is essential to confront these times of extremism and division.

For all these reasons, I support António José Seguro for President of the Republic. Seguro has the necessary political experience, a vision of commitment, social sensitivity, a defense of institutional balance, ensures the essential “gravitas” of the position, guarantees the verbal and opinionated restraint that the seriousness of the presidential role requires and presents an independent stance that is essential for him to be a good President of the Republic. He is therefore the candidate capable of uniting different sectors of society and of responding to Portugal’s current challenges with the competence and integrity that the country deserves.
