What is to be expected is that the president will call the (center-right) coalition to form the government, that is obviously what I expect.

We interpret the results with a lot of humility, we failed to reach a majority in parliament.

Nobody can count on the Socialists to support policies that go against the Socialists, there was a large majority of Portuguese who voted for change.

Nobody swaps certainty with uncertainty, without stability there is no confidence, without confidence there is no investment, without investment there is no job creation.

What is happening in Europe is that responsible governments cannot go promising to people what the reality won't allow them to implement, when they come to power the reality is that they have to confront problems and have to do exactly what the Portuguese government has done.
