Summary:

  • Miguel Albuquerque opposes an extraordinary congress for PSD-M despite 540 signatures supporting it.

  • He emphasizes the need for unity among party members ahead of upcoming regional elections.

  • Albuquerque labels the congress as a political mistake that could harm the party's chances.

Miguel Albuquerque Stands Firm Against Extraordinary Congress

Miguel Albuquerque continues to resist calls for an extraordinary congress within the PSD-M, despite the desire expressed by Manuel António Correia, who presented 540 signatures on December 23 demanding a magna session.

A Call for Unity

Albuquerque insists that “this is not the moment” for such a congress, advocating instead for unity among members to prepare for the upcoming regional elections. He even suggested March 9 as a favorable date for the electoral process.

Strong Opposition to Internal Conflict

During a visit to Câmara de Lobos for the annual Bolo-Rei initiative, Albuquerque stated, “I believe this congress will not happen and it is not desirable for it to occur.” He argues that it would be a political mistake and akin to suicide for the PSD to engage in a fratricidal internal dispute when unity is essential to win the elections.
