“I can ask him why he didn’t call me when my house flooded.” This was António Costa’s reaction when asked by a journalist in Brussels why he had not contacted the mayor of Lisbon during the floods in the capital.
A SIC journalist asked if there was discrimination against Carlos Moedas (mayor of the DSD). “We are not going to talk about local affairs,” the prime minister replied at the end of the European Council press conference in Brussels. Confronted with the persistence of a journalist who asked Costa if he was going to contact the mayor, the answer was: “If necessary, then by all means. What’s the problem?”
On the same topic, the prime minister asked, “Oh, ma’am, leave that alone. Don’t worry about it.”
He eventually resigned from the pulpit, but still commented in a statement filmed by reporters on the spot and addressed to those who asked him questions: “I can ask him why he didn’t call me when my house flooded.” .”
On December 7, a woman died in Alges due to flooding caused by heavy rains that hit Greater Lisbon. On the 13th, Tuesday, Lisbon was issued a red alert issued by the municipality and people were advised not to leave their homes for the same reason.
