The President of the Lisbon City Council, Carlos Moedas, blamed the Socialist Party for the concession of a barracks to be converted into a hotel. The statement was made in response to criticism from the PS regarding this decision.
The Social Democratic mayor defended himself against the accusations, stating that he was not the one who chose this option. Moedas emphasized that he does not have the power to reverse the decision, warning that doing so would mean breaking the law.
The exchange of accusations between PSD and PS comes in the context of a political dispute over the management of municipal heritage and decisions regarding the concession of public spaces in the Portuguese capital.
The barracks in question will be converted into a hotel unit, a decision that has generated controversy among political parties and may need to be analyzed in light of the applicable legislation on concessions.
