Passos Coelho signals continued involvement in right-wing politics

Former Prime Minister Passos Coelho has signaled his continued availability for right-wing political maneuvers through a recent interview. The commentary suggests that his actions are not a direct threat to the current PSD leadership under Luís Montenegro, but rather an attempt to compete with the current government by offering to advance the policies established during his previous administration.

As the cost of living rises, the analysis posits that Coelho is positioning himself to support economic interests that benefited from the PSD/CDS policies of the past. The current government's tactical management of parliamentary agreements with parties such as IL, Chega, or PS is viewed as a way to serve various economic groups, with Coelho remaining a potential figure for further right-wing political action.
