O prime Minister, Luís Montenegro, stressed this Thursday that not only “all Portuguese authorities [...] have been at the forefront of political, economic and military support for Ukraine”, but also the Portuguese people “are clearly following this position in an overwhelming way”. The head of the government thus considered that NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte “was unhappy, was light, was unaware of a reality that he should know more closely”, saying that in Portugal and Spain some people consider the war in Ukraine to be distant.
