Former CDS-PP leader and former deputy prime minister Paulo Portas will be the guest speaker on the first day of the PSD parliamentary days, which will take place on March 10th and 11th in Caminha.
The information was given to Lusa by the PSD parliamentary leader, Hugo Soares.
Paulo Portas was leader of the CDS-PP between 1998 and 2005 and, again, between 2007 and 2016. He was Minister of Defense during the PSD/CDS-PP governments led by Durão Barroso and Santana Lopes and began assuming the Foreign Affairs portfolio in the PSD/CDS-PP executive of Pedro Passos Coelho. In the second half of this Government, he became deputy prime minister.
The PSD’s parliamentary days were initially scheduled for February 9th and 10th, but were postponed due to the bad weather that hit Portugal between January 28th and mid-February and caused 18 deaths and hundreds of homeless people.
The full program has not yet been released, but the sessions will, as usual, be attended by the president of the PSD and prime minister, Luís Montenegro.
The last PSD parliamentary days, which were organized together with the CDS-PP bench, were held in Évora in July and had as main guest Luís Marques Mendes, the candidate supported by both parties in the first round of the presidential elections, who came in fifth place, with 11.3% of the votes.
