The Mayor of Coimbra, Ana Abrunhosa (PS), publicly retracted accusations made against Lusa agency journalist João Gaspar this Wednesday, April 29, admitting to an 'unfortunate moment' that will not be repeated. The apology was issued during a Coimbra Municipal Assembly session while discussing a motion condemning the incident. The dispute arose after the journalist reported that the Casa do Cinema de Coimbra risked losing its license due to municipal inaction. Following the apology, the PSD withdrew its motion, while the Journalists' Union continues to accuse the mayor of violating press freedom.
