President of the Republic sent condolences to the Family of Major General Pires Veloso

The President of the Republic addressed a message of condolences to the Family of Major General Pires Veloso

Following is the text of the message from President Cavaco Silva:

“Upon being advised of the passing away of Major General Pires Veloso, I wish to address the bereaved Family my deepest condolences.

Throughout a brilliant military career, General Pires Veloso distinguished himself as the commanding officer of the Northern Military Region, and as an outstanding figure in the consolidation of our democracy. In the exercise of this demanding mission, he decisively contributed, with the forces under his command, towards the stability of the Armed Forces and for the development of the democratic process in Portugal.

I pay due tribute of the figure of this Portuguese patriot who served his country courageously and selflessly.

Aníbal Cavaco Silva”
