In secluded territory under self-governance, Carneiro declares an investigation into political aspects of coinage

The president of the Lisbon Municipal Chamber, Carles Moedas, is currently the subject of a political scrutiny. This investigation, which may involve aspects of a civil and criminal nature, is not initiated by the Secretary-General of the Socialist Party (PS), José Luís Carneiro.

The entities conducting the scrutinies are separate from the political sphere and operate under the law. The nature of the scrutinies does not depend on the Secretary-General of the PS, José Luís Carneiro, and the entities in question have not been specified in the text.

The tragedy of the Elevador da Glória accident in Lisbon is under a separate investigation, conducted by the Portuguese authority called the Office for Prevention and Investigation of Accidents in Aviation and Railways (GPIAAF). This agency produced the initial investigative report on the cable failure causing the crash.

In a recent statement, José Luís Carneiro, the Secretary-General of the PS, expressed respect for the scrutiny of those who have their own election to make the scrutiny of their president of the Lisbon Municipal Chamber. He did not express an opinion on whether Carlos Moedas should resign or on the nature of the scrutinies.

It is important to note that this political scrutiny is not directly related to the Secretary-General of the PS, José Luís Carneiro. He has also not initiated the scrutinies, which may involve aspects of a criminal nature.

The political scrutiny is in relation to the local elections scheduled for October 12. The Secretary-General of the PS, José Luís Carneiro, has not expressed an opinion on the nature of the scrutinies, reiterating his respect for the democratic process.

In light of these developments, the public awaits the outcome of the scrutiny, as well as the results of the local elections in October. The scrutiny, conducted by separate entities, will provide clarity on the situation and ensure accountability in the political sphere.
