About to visit INEM in Porto, Ines Sousa Real reacted to the resignation of the mayor of PAN from the executive of the parish council of Santa Maria Mayor in Funchal, Margarida Magalhães.
According to the party representative, this situation is old and has only become public knowledge now. He talks of a political advantage but says there has been no instability given that there is “unity” within the party and that recent divisions (in Faro two municipal elected officials have already left the party) will not interfere with elections next Sunday. .
Margarida Magalhães spoke about the “coup” of the press secretary in the regional structure. He also said he does not support and is “ashamed of the numerous violations of the law by Ines Souza Real, who uses and abuses the laws.”
The mayor of Madeira also criticized the supposed “traffic jam” law throughout the process in the regional structure and admits that she is disappointed that the PAN has turned into a useful “cane” in Madeira to perpetuate the 48-year-old regime.
Margarida Magalhães, 1st member of the board elected by the Confiança coalition led by the PS, believes that the party “today is not a space for democratic debate, since the hand of pressure persecutes and suppresses all who think for themselves and especially those who dare think differently than Ines Souza Real.”
