Former State Secretary Fernando Medina, known as Galamba, harshly criticized the PS leader, Pedro Nuno Santos, and the party, accusing them of doing a disservice to the country. The statements arise in the context of an internal conflict within the socialist party.
Pedro Nuno Santos had proposed on Saturday various local government reforms, including a share of renewable revenues for municipalities. This proposal was part of a broader set of municipal management measures presented by the socialist leader.
Fernando Medina, who was a state secretary in a socialist government, decided to criticize his own party's proposals, publicly expressing his disagreement with the direction taken by the PS in this area.
The episode illustrates the internal tensions in the Socialist Party, with prominent figures of the party publicly expressing their opposition to the guidelines advocated by the current leadership of Pedro Nuno Santos, particularly regarding local government reforms and the distribution of renewable energy revenues.
