My dear president, my deep friend Jorge Sampaio, being by your side was to feel the immensity of the mountain and be baffled by the light of good. Few men at the service of the country have both had their human awesomeness and detachment by limelight, spotlight, materiality. The office was just a means to cast seeds of union and concord. Nothing else. Its simplicity, the greater example of the true meaning of politics. He served the Portuguese with the emotion of the righteous, defended each of us with the passion of the firm, and, in international theatre, represented our floor and tongue with the Love of the wise. I cried when the UN rose to make it clear that Human Rights begin with the word Liberdade and that Portugal accepts no lessons from dictatorships or aggressors. His very generous struggle, which led him to PIDE’s dungeon against the darkness of the New State, allowed us all to grow up in a free and democratic country. It was also my parents’ struggle and maybe for that, they were so friendly. My tribute to you, my eternal President, is also, allow me, a tribute to them. Democracy owes you a lot, dear Jorge, and each of us Portuguese owe you the ability to believe in a future with a head high. A big, big hug from those we gave in Momenta to accompany you on your last journey.

Jorge Sampaio could have chosen several paths to remain relevant. He chose those of decency, humanity, compassion. In the world we live in, they are acts of courage. Rest in peace

Jorge Sampaio stood out in the struggle for democracy and for the release of students imprisoned during the Academic Crisis of 1962. He joined the CDE in the struggle against fascism. Defended political prisoners. Later, it will be a forerunner of the understandings on the left. Rest in peace.

It was the first time I voted in a presidential election, and it was the first election in which I was able to exercise my right to vote. Even though I am not a representative of my political area, in 1996 I voted for Jorge Sampaio without hesitation. Rest in peace.
