This crook (educated lawyer) was elected president of a Municipality outside Lisbon for different periods between 1986 and the present time. Throughout the years, he has been accused of tax fraud, money laundering, passive corruption, abuse of power and malfeasance. Convicted and jailed in 2013 for tax fraud and money laundering. Despite his "curriculum vitae", he was reelected (!?) again in 2017 and 2021 with an absolute majority (50,86%).
I think one can make two conclusions; The first one is that democracy is also for idiots. The second one is that if the system has an elected and convicted-crook-in-charge....who the hell will blame you for anything ?
October 2022 (speaking about Russia): "Targeted attacks on civilian infrastructure with the clear aim of cutting off men, women and children of water, electricity and heating. With winter coming, these are acts of pure terror."
October 2023: "Israel has the right to defend itself"
(EU double standards as usual)
Start an external conflict....and you will make people forget their daily misery.
