Coup d’État en Guinée-Bissau : La posture "prudente" du Portugal
Yesterday's military coup in Guinea-Bissau has not gone unnoticed in Portugal. Its president, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, declared on Thursday, November 27th, that he had been able to reach Umaro Embalo by telephone and that the latter was in good health.
“I simply did what a head of state should do, which is to contact the head of state of Guinea-Bissau to find out how he was doing. I did it yesterday. He told me that he was in good health… I informed the government that his reaction was marked by gratitude and sympathy,” revealed the Portuguese leader, during a visit to the Champalimaud Foundation in Lisbon.
Do not interfere
When journalists asked him to comment on the coup, he reminded them that Guinea-Bissau is a sovereign state and that one must refrain from interfering, especially when the facts have not yet been verified.
“There’s nothing like not expressing opinions on a subject without verifying the facts, and respecting what is defined in a sovereign country regarding its internal affairs,” Mr. de Sousa stated. This reasoning, he believes, justifies the “cautious” stance adopted by Portugal.
The leader nevertheless agrees that there should not be a "disruption to the normal lives of people and institutions" in Guinea-Bissau
