“There is still no date or location, but I will announce by the end of the week both the date and the location for the first Open Presidency, which will be precisely in the Central Region,” he stated.

The announcement was made on the second day of the inauguration program, after the new President visited the village of Mourísia, in the Union of Parishes of Cerdeira and Moura da Serra, in the municipality of Arganil, district of Coimbra, which, in 2025, was engulfed by flames.

António José Seguro was received with applause, had the opportunity to unveil a plaque with a “public thank you” for his visit, and also greeted the inhabitants of this small village, where only about ten people live, as well as residents of neighbouring villages.

While touring some streets of this village, which has more houses than inhabitants, the President of the Republic was presented with a book, took a selfie, and expressed his wish that “the State will not fail them, regardless of where they choose to live.”

António José Seguro was formally sworn in before the Assembly of the Republic on Monday morning, later opening the gardens of Belém Palace to the public and participating in a meeting with young people at a university in Lisbon.

The inauguration of the new President of the Republic included a two-day program, extended to Arganil, Guimarães, and Porto, with initiatives reflecting the priorities and aims of his mandate.

António José Seguro, former Secretary-General of the Socialist Party (PS), was elected President of the Republic in the second round of the presidential elections on February 8th, with more than 3.5 million votes, a record number, 66.84% of the votes cast, against André Ventura, president of Chega.
