Nobody knows how many people go to the Avante party that marks the “rentrée” of the PCP, a party that refuses, year after year, to explain to the Political Accounts and Financing Entity (ECFP) how many tickets it has sold, with the Entity finding recurring deficiencies and irregularities in the income and expenses of the communist initiative, which is a mixture of a rally, a political event and a music festival.
An opacity that allowed the PCP to negotiate at will with the General Directorate of Health (DGS), letting the information flow that it would have cut the maximum licensed capacity, from 100,000 to 33,000 people – to finally look at 16,500 – simultaneously in Quinta da Atalaia.
However, according to the accounts of the weekly Expresso, based on the data provided by the PCP to the ECFP, this brutal cut in capacity would not decisively limit the number of visitors.
“The most conservative accounts, made from the income that the party recorded from the sale of permanent tickets in the 2017 report (the latest available on the ECFP website), reveal that the number of annual attendees will be very low. below 100,000 and closer to 33,000 ”, reads the Expresso edition of this Saturday, September 5.
It’s a matter of doing the math: “Considering that the PCP reported to the entity a turnover of 918.7 thousand euros with the tickets of the party, this means that if everyone had bought the cheapest ticket (the ticket bought in advance cost 23 euros), a maximum of 39,922 people would have been at the party at the same time, a figure more similar to the maximum capacity announced by the party before being forced by the Directorate General of Health to drop to 16,563 participants “, concluded the weekly .
Expresso also questioned the PCP about the number of tickets sold this year, but received no response.
The shortcomings and irregularities are constantly pointed out in the ECFP reports and subsequent decisions about the party, which, according to the accounts revealed by the SIC, recorded losses of almost two million euros in the last six years.
