Política 25 Abril
"Let us have the humility and intelligence to always prefer democracy, even imperfect, to dictatorship", said Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, at the solemn session commemorating the 50th anniversary of April 25 at the Assembly of the Republic.
The Head of State considered that many of the advances achieved in these five decades are "in need of the impetus of new generations, ideas and people", before April 25 "becomes or ends up becoming nostalgia, more past than future".
"What to do, how to do it? Take what is strongest, most lasting, most redeeming, most promising about April, and with that recreate Portugal. This unique, singular value that has never died, never been extinguished, never weakened: it is called freedom, democracy and the will of the people. So let us recognise this vital force of democracy", he appealed.
Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa argued that "even unfinished democracies are the strongest and most creative societies in the world, as they are the best humanly, as they are the most environmentally advanced, as they are the freest, most plural, most open, least repressive, least persecutory, least intolerant, least averse to difference".
Democracies are "more open to all, even to all, including those who contest, in whole or in part, this democracy", he added.
"No one wants to exchange a less perfect democracy for a dictatorship, even if it is seductive or hidden behind illiberal tics. We in Portugal do not want it. What we want is greater economic, social and cultural quality, to give strength to better political quality", he reinforced.
