The Mayor of Amadora, Duarte Moral, is under investigation regarding a direct agreement for writing a speech commemorating April 25th, Portugal’s Day of Freedom. The inquiry centers on the process used to commission the speechwriting services. While the court has not suspended Moral from his Socialist Party (PS) duties, the party leadership, led by Carneiro, is considering internal disciplinary action. The nature of the contract and potential irregularities in its awarding are the focus of the investigation. No further details regarding the financial value of the contract have been released. The situation presents a potential challenge for the PS as it navigates the allegations against a prominent party member. The investigation is ongoing, and further developments are expected.
