The mayor of Lisbon, Carlos Moedas, this Thursday, in a statement to the Correio da Manhã, denounced the decision of the National Electoral Commission, which ordered the removal of several posters placed by the municipality.
“Unfair decision. The posters provide information for Lisbon residents to know how to apply for affordable income or health insurance. They are not advertising,” he says.
The CNE forced the chamber to remove the posters because it believed they violated institutional advertising rules relating to the European elections. Carlos Moedas has 48 hours to stop the “propaganda,” “on pain of punishment for committing the crime of insubordination,” the CNE said in a statement, citing CNE. CNN Portugal.
According to the same source, we are talking about posters with the following phrases: “Are you over 65 years old? Do you need a doctor? Free. Every day. 24 hours. There is one in Lisbon.” and “Lisbon helps pay rent. Find out about the programs and apply.”
CNE received two complaints against the Lisbon City Council.
