“Portugal has returned to victory. And it has done so with Cristiano Ronaldo, who, at the age of 40, shows why he remains a great symbol of our country: a tireless leader, a natural leader, and an ambassador for his country who doesn’t need an official badge.
He carries Portugal in his heart every day, on and off the field.
That’s exactly why, when I’m elected, I want to include our national team captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, in the Council of State.
Not because he’s a media personality, but because of everything he stands for: discipline, focus, overcoming adversity, and unconditional love for one’s country.
Cristiano Ronaldo embodies exactly that: a unique career, full of sacrifice, dedication, pain, and triumph.
Cristiano Ronaldo is more than just a player. He is a living example of everything I believe Portugal needs: work, merit, resilience, and love of country.
And that’s why, yes, from It is logical for Cristiano to be on the State Council. It is time to change the rules of the game.”
