The President of the Assembly of the Republic, José Pedro Aguiar-Branco, will not take action against Pedro Delgado Alves, who turned his back on him following his speech at the 52nd anniversary session of the 25th of April. The Socialist deputy was protesting Aguiar-Branco's remarks regarding incompatibility regimes for public officials. While the act may violate the Assembly's Code of Conduct regarding institutional decorum, Aguiar-Branco will not request an ethics inquiry. Delgado Alves defended his silent, symbolic protest on social media, while reactions within the Socialist Party remain divided.
