Summary:

  • PSD confirms candidates for Funchal City Council, with Patrícia Dantas in a key position that could lead to presidency.

  • Dantas is accused by the Public Ministry and is on trial in the AI Minho process, raising questions about PSD's national stance on candidates with legal issues.

  • A reader challenges the candidacy, recalling PSD's promise not to include individuals accused by Justice in their lists.

This week, the PSD confirmed the first positions on its list of candidates for the Funchal City Council executive, albeit with some hesitation. If no changes occur—which is highly likely—Patrícia Dantas will appear in the second position. This placement ensures her the presidency of the Municipality in the event that the PSD/CDS coalition wins and José Luís Nunes later resigns or is unable to serve.

Patrícia Dantas

The candidate is one of the individuals accused by the Public Ministry and is currently on trial as part of the AI Minho process. A DIÁRIO reader questioned the authenticity of the candidacy news, asserting that the PSD and its president, Luís Montenegro, had stated they would not include individuals accused by the Justice in their lists.

Was this truly the case? Did the PSD and Luís Montenegro provide such a guarantee?
