Muchaxo revealed what Santos is like in private. “First of all, he’s a very good person you can rely on. Fernando is very, very religious. He goes to church regularly. When he’s in Portugal, it’s practically every day. He also helps the clergy as much as he can.

Santos’s friend has no doubts. “I can only congratulate the Poles”
