Portuguese prefer elections but do not know who would win after Costa's departure | Video

Lisbon (Portugal), Nov 8 (EFE) - (Camera: Carlota Ciudad) The Portuguese, who are still digesting the surprise resignation of the Socialist Prime Minister António Costa, see the call for legislative elections as the only possible way out for the country, although there is no one to guess what the outcome would be.

SOUNDBITES OF THE CITIZENS ANA VILHENA AND FILIPE BATISTA VASQUES. FOOTAGE OF LISBON.

TRANSLATIONS.

ANA VILHENA:

1. I believe that a change is going to be necessary because this government no longer has the credibility to stay governing.

2. I think that the Social Democratic Party is now going to win more because people were a little disillusioned with this situation of the Socialist Party.

FILIPE BATISTA VASQUES:

1. I think he had no other choice because he was in a situation where he was really losing political authority. I hope this is a mistake because, if it is not, regardless of our political ideology, I think this weighs heavily on all of us.
