Summary:

  • Albuquerque claims he is unaware of the Jurisdiction Council's decision regarding an elective congress.

  • The term 'elective' is disputed among prominent party members.

  • Albuquerque insists there's no room for a grand session of social democrats.

  • He argues that the Regional Council holds the authority to decide on the congress.

  • Concerns raised over launching public tenders without an approved regional budget.

Albuquerque's Response to Jurisdiction Council

"I have no idea because I am not part of the Jurisdiction Council [of PSD-M]," stated the president of the Social Democratic Party in response to inquiries about the anticipated decision from the council led by Rui Abreu. This council is set to review potential irregularities regarding the request for an elective congress initiated by Manuel António Correia this afternoon at 5 PM.

The Controversy Over 'Elective'

The crux of the matter may lie in the term “elective,” which prominent party members argue is not a recognized terminology, unlike the statutes of the youth organization, JSD-M.

No Space for a Grand Session

Albuquerque emphasized that “there is no room for a grand session of the social democrats” and rejected the notion that his statements are influencing the party’s governing bodies.

Decision Authority Lies Elsewhere

He clarified, “The decision on whether or not to hold a congress is not up to the Jurisdiction Council; it is the Regional Council of the party that decides.” This statement came after a visit to the construction site of the Ponta do Pargo golf course.

Budget Concerns

Albuquerque reiterated that without an approved regional budget, he questions how public tenders can be launched, contradicting claims that it can be done if justified by public interest.
