Catarina Martins has pledged to be an unwavering ally for the Portuguese people, emphasizing the need to protect the public health system in the upcoming presidential elections.

Catarina Martins, a prominent political figure in Portugal, has committed to being an uncompromising ally of the Portuguese citizens during her presidential campaign. During a recent visit to Nazaré, Madeira, she underscored the critical state of the public health system and the importance of the upcoming presidential elections as a pivotal moment for political stability.

Martins addressed locals, highlighting the urgent need to defend the Serviço Nacional de Saúde (SNS), Portugal's National Health Service. She emphasized that the country is facing a health emergency, with the public health system's rapid decline posing a significant risk to the constitutional right of all Portuguese citizens to healthcare.

"The degradation of the SNS must be halted immediately," Martins stated, calling for decisive action to ensure the sustainability and accessibility of healthcare services. Her campaign's focus on health aims to rally support from the public, who have expressed growing concerns over the quality and availability of healthcare services.

The regional committee supporting Martins' candidacy is actively engaging with the community, aiming to raise awareness about the critical role of the presidential elections in shaping the future of public services. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to mobilize voters and emphasize the elections' significance as a factor of political balance.
