Three Chega deputies to join RTP Opinion Council

Chega deputies Bernardo Pessanha, Jorge Galveias, and Patrícia Carvalho are included in the single list of ten Assembly of the Republic representatives for the RTP Opinion Council, set for a vote on May 8. The vote for this external body was previously postponed on April 16 following a parliamentary committee review regarding potential incompatibilities with the Statute of Deputies. The committee, led by Socialist deputy Pedro Delgado Alves, found no impediments for the Chega candidates. The list, agreed upon by the PSD and PS, also includes nominees from those parties, such as cultural manager Rui Morais and academic Felisbela Lopes. Meanwhile, the second vote for the Ombudsman remains unscheduled following Tiago Antunes' withdrawal, and the election of three Constitutional Court judges is also pending.
