Pedro Nuno Santos Comments on Sérgio Sousa Pinto's Exit
In a recent entertainment program on SIC, Pedro Nuno Santos, the Secretary-General of the Socialist Party (PS), expressed his surprise regarding Sérgio Sousa Pinto's decision to withdraw from the PS list for the Lisbon circle. Santos stated, "He decided that he didn't like it after all, wanted to leave, and we have to respect that. He spoke to me and explained his reasons, but he had known about the list since Monday."
Sérgio Sousa Pinto, a seasoned socialist deputy, was initially included in the candidates for the upcoming legislative elections. However, reports from the Observador indicate that he expressed to Santos his unavailability and discomfort with the team chosen by the PS leader. Consequently, he will not be part of the candidate lists.
Pinto was set to occupy the sixth position on the PS list for Lisbon, which will be led by Mariana Vieira da Silva, a former minister in the governments of António Costa. This unexpected withdrawal raises questions about the dynamics within the party as they prepare for the upcoming elections.
