PS de Tábua resigns and paves the way for interim elections

The president of the Midões Parish Council resigned after over a year of political deadlock, failing to form an executive. Paulo Portugal and other elected members from the Socialist Party cited ongoing difficulties in reaching an agreement despite attempts to engage with the second most voted coalition. The opposition parties demanded representation in the executive, complicating negotiations. Portugal emphasized that the resignation aims to break the stalemate and restore stability to the parish. The leader of the opposing coalition criticized the Socialists for not bringing proposals to a vote sooner. Following the resignation, an administrative commission will be appointed before new elections are held.
