The Transparency Commission will examine a complaint filed by its president against Socialist deputy Rui Paulo Sousa. José Carlos Barbosa is the president of this body and decided to proceed with the complaint against his PS colleague. The Transparency Commission is responsible for evaluating matters related to deputies' conduct.
The reason for the complaint relates to comments posted by José Carlos Barbosa on social media X. In the posts, the president of the Transparency Commission allegedly described Rui Paulo Sousa as "racist, swindler, not very smart and incapable." These comments generated controversy and led to the formal complaint.
