Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa is following the situation of the Portuguese in China because of the coronavirus very carefully. The President of the Republic is concerned, especially since his grandchildren and son live in China.
“I must say that, personally, I witness the government’s monitoring, since I have grandchildren living in China”, explains the President to the Morning mail. “They arrived on this Chinese New Year holiday, 15 days ago, which were prolonged by stopping classes,” he added.
Marcelo, who is very close to his grandchildren, had previously confessed that what cost him the most in the Presidency was to have less time to be with his grandchildren, as he can travel less and has a fuller schedule than he had when he was just commentator and teacher.
For many years Marcelo’s grandchildren lived in Brazil, where his son worked, but recently Nuno Rebelo de Sousa traveled to China, for work reasons, and took his children. A headache, now with this coronavirus epidemic, for the President of the Republic, who is admittedly a hypochondriac.
