António José Seguro maintains high confidence in first six months

António José Seguro has maintained high confidence ratings during his first six months as President of the Republic, outperforming other political figures. His leadership style is characterized by a combination of affective proximity to the public and a maintained institutional distance from other powers and the media.

While recognized for being serious, independent, and reliable, there are calls for his presidency to move beyond being a mere institutional balance or pendulum. Expectations exist for him to incorporate elements of hope, youth, science, and progress into his mandate to revitalize democratic engagement and combat political cynicism.
