The President of the Azorean Government welcomed today the candidate to the presidential elections scheduled for January 24, Maria de Belém Roseira. The audience took place in Ponta Delgada.
After the meeting, Vasco Cordeiro emphasised the importance of the visits of presidential candidates to the Autonomous Regions of the Azores and Madeira in the period that precedes the elections.
"This is important because it allows those running for President of the Portuguese Government to have a deeper and direct knowledge of the multiple realities of the country, not only in terms of territory but also in institutional terms," said the President of the Government.
Speaking to journalists, Vasco Cordeiro assured that he will be pleased to receive any other candidate who "believes that this contact with the President of the Regional Government may be useful and appropriate."
