CJ opposes Lisbon and accepts list hours before the elections

The elections for delegates to the VII Chega Convention are ongoing, with a controversial last-minute decision allowing Bruno Mascarenhas's rejected list to participate. Initially, the Lisbon District Board had rejected the list due to numerous irregularities in candidate documentation. Despite this, the Chega Jurisdiction Council invalidated the rejection, citing insufficient justification for the decision. The Council emphasized the need for transparency and proper reasoning in electoral processes, especially when a candidate's participation is at stake. The elections coincide with André Ventura's re-election campaign as Chega president.
