António José Seguro will be sworn in as Portugal’s president on March 9, but he does not plan to move into the official presidential residence, the Belém Palace. Instead, he intends to continue living in Caldas da Rainha with his wife and stay at the palace only when required by his schedule. The approach follows a long-standing modern tradition: since the establishment of the Third Republic, only President Ramalho Eanes lived at the palace permanently, largely for security reasons. Other presidents — including Mário Soares, Jorge Sampaio, Aníbal Cavaco Silva and Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa — typically stayed in their private homes, using the palace only during exceptional circumstances such as international crises or the pandemic. Material taken from https://t.me/s/lepta
