The PS secretary-general indicated that his party is in talks with Tiago Antunes to assess a new bid for Ombudsman, praising him as a person of great integrity and without partisan bias. This follows the rejection of his candidacy by the Assembly of the Republic on Thursday. Carneiro noted that the PS had previously reached an agreement with the PSD, which had guaranteed support for the candidate. Meanwhile, Rui Rocha has accused Antunes of being part of a machine designed to manipulate public opinion.

Context & Explainers
The Ombudsman (Provedor de Justiça) is an independent public institution that investigates complaints from citizens about the actions or omissions of public bodies. It can review cases, issue non-binding recommendations and publish reports, so tenants or landlords who face delays or irregularities with state housing supports can take their complaints there.
