The president of the Juventude Popular condemned this Monday António Costa’s support for the re-election of the president of Benfica, extending criticism to the leader of the CDS-PP bench, who is also a member of the honor committee of Luís Filipe Vieira.

“All those who, together with the Prime Minister, occupy positions of conflict of interest and supervision in the sports field, for the sake of transparency, should leave football to football, because they cannot be referees on the same plane and players” , defends Francisco Mota.
“Knowing the Portuguese that there is a judicial investigation underway, the country is helping its prime minister from the bench to be a credible witness and directly influence the course of the investigation,” accuses the leader of the young centrist, noting that “this It could not be the prime minister’s intention, but for César’s wife it is not enough to be, you have to look serious ”.
According to the news spread over the weekend, in addition to António Costa, the mayor of Lisbon, Fernando Medina, the parliamentary leader of the CDS, Telmo Correia, or the PSD deputy Duarte Pacheco are some of the “more than 500” names in the honor committee of Luís Filipe Vieira.
