The four heads of state that Portugal has had since the advent of democracy in 1974 have sent a message of unity to the country during the events celebrating the 37th anniversary of the Revolution of April 25. Antonio Ramalho Eanes (1976-1986), Mário Soares (1986-1996), Jorge Sampaio (1996-2006) and Anibal Cavaco Silva (2006) have led the public to advocate for the understanding of the parties and the formation of a new government after elections on June 5.
For the first time since it commemorates the so-called Carnation Revolution, the main celebration event has taken place in Parliament luso, but in Belém Palace, residence of the president, due to the dissolution of the chamber following the resignation the prime minister, socialist Jose Socrates, in March.
The economic crisis facing the country and open negotiations with Brussels and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to receive financial assistance of around 80,000 million euros have been central issues around which they have gravitated speeches the four leaders. The last speaker was the current chief of Luso, conservative Anibal Cavaco Silva, who spoke of "a patriotic commitment" that should enable the Executive that emerges from the elections in June have "majority support" in Parliament.
This unit must also be translated, in his opinion, "an effort to arrange all the conditions of foreign aid" to Brussels and the IMF. During his speech, which unlike in the past there has been no implied criticism of the current Socialist government, Cavaco Silva has called on citizens to honor those who made possible the disappearance of the dictatorship in 1974 going to the polls.
"Those who made possible the revolution of April 25 never lost hope of change," insisted the president of Portugal. Portuguese political parties, whose leaders were among the public who have attended this event, have also been the target of much of the message released by the four presidents lusos, given the proximity of elections and the fear that the tension take over the campaign.
Cavaco Silva has called on the groups responsible, so to submit "concrete proposals and solutions, which diverge from the crossings and avoid accusations that the tone of the campaign prevented after achieving" governance commitments. " The intervention has been critical of the Socialist Jorge Sampaio, who has stressed that one can not "ignore the abstention, the indifference of the citizenry, the distance between voters and elected officials, distrust in institutions and in politicians and the distance between the parties "that exists in Portugal.
He regretted, moreover, the "corporatism" and the lack of dynamism of civil society "wants to live in the shadow of the State" politicians "who are not up to", unions and employers concerned about their interests, and has even warned the media for his "sensationalism." He also socialist Mário Soares has said that as far by the passing Portugal, it is given the crucial need "for the whole country to unite around reforms" regardless of ideological differences.
" Soares pointed out that the granting of financial assistance from the EU and the IMF to Portugal does not automatically solve the country's problems and called on parties and social partners to place national interest above their own interests to ensure that the next Executive govern with sufficient support in Parliament.
In his speech, Ramalho Eanes has defended political consensus and has asked parties in the field say "the whole truth, with a minimum of slogans and without demagogy."
