UGT continues without electing a president

UGT continues unable to elect a president. The PSD-affiliated tendency had presented the name of Francisco Pimentel as a candidate, but ended up withdrawing the candidacy after the veto by the executive body of the organization, which is socialist-leaning. Lucinda Dâmaso, who previously held the position, continues without a defined successor. The situation remains undefined, without the different internal factions having reached an agreement on who should lead the structure.
