Latest news and stories about carlos moedas in Portugal for expats and residents.
The appointment of Mafalda Livermore continues to cause controversy. Did Carlos Moedas do wrong by negotiating with the Chega party? In the government, will Leitão Amaro be the “jack of all trades”? And where are the other ministers?
The extraordinary work of Francisco Frazão at the Teatro do Bairro Alto and Rita Rato at the Aljube Museum is undeniable. By yielding to a demand from Chega, Moedas even had to appoint the director of the São Luiz to manage two theatres simultaneously. Frazão and Rato were chosen through public competition, while their replacements were appointed directly without explanation. Political purges are incompatible with merit and transparency, but Moedas knows which political alliance his future depends on.
In statements to Sol, the PS councillor regrets that several projects in the city of Lisbon have not yet moved forward and argues that there is a “clear choice by Moedas to govern with Chega”.
The political party Chega has supported a proposal by Carlos Moedas, leading to an increase in local accommodation ratios in Lisbon to 5% and 10%.
