President Marcelo calls people to go out and vote tomorrow and proposes changes in the electoral laws:
In the traditional election day eve message to the people, President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa asked voters to go out and vote tomorrow as, according to him, tomorrow's elections are "truly different". The President points that these are the first general elections during a pandemic , the first after a budget rejection and that in play are our urgent improvement in the quality of living, from health to everyday life. The President warned that without strong changes in the country, because if the country doesn't fight poverty and inequality, that were aggravated by the pandemic, it's like "drenching the sands of a desert with millions." Therefore, the President asked for the next government to propose a health emergency law and a full review of the electoral law in order to allow voters to vote at any time and with more options.
What's the point of a "day of reflection" if political messages are still okay so long as they come from the President?
