SAPO28 August 2026 at 21:29

Fernando Caria, the mayor of Montijo, denied accusations made by the Chega party, which criticized the municipal management of the city council. The conflict between the mayor and the political party became public through an exchange of mutual accusations.

Chega shared videos considered misleading by Fernando Caria, who viewed them as an attempt to manipulate public opinion about the city council's actions. The mayor reacted to the criticism and sought to clarify what he considered to be inaccuracies in the accusations.

The debate centers on the issue of sanitation in Montijo, a topic that has generated political controversy in the region. The discussion about this basic infrastructure became one of the central points of the dispute between Caria and Chega.

In addition to sanitation, the 3.7 million euro loan also entered the center of the accusations, with Chega questioning how this amount was used by the municipality. Fernando Caria responded to the criticism, defending the financial management and the decisions made by the council he leads.
