The Alternativa Democrática Nacional (ADN) party announced today that it approved its support for André Ventura's presidential candidacy after he denied he would amend the Constitution to curtail rights or to safeguard against situations such as a pandemic.
Presidential candidate André Ventura urged rival António José Seguro in Caldas da Rainha to say explicitly whether he supports amending the Constitution to end the duplication of lifelong pensions awarded to former public officeholders (citing examples such as Armando Vara). Speaking at a street rally attended by more than 100 supporters, Ventura framed the issue as a clear policy choice with constitutional and social-security implications and pressed Seguro to clarify his position ahead of the election.
The spokesperson for Livre warned that some presidential candidates believe the Constitution should be changed and therefore “will be lying in their own oath” when taking office.
