A great performance in his press conference, providing plausible explanations for his behaviour, pointing his finger at those who put political expediency above the national interest and defying the opposition to come forward with alternative proposals. A spirited, even agressive performance, of the kind that is sadly missing in Portuguese politics.
The reactions from the opposition parties are lame, picking at minor details to try to discredit the whole, politics of the lowest level.
I never thought I'd say it, because the guy gives me the creeps, but "Bravo!"
