The ADN-Madeira party has requested, via a statement, the immediate suspension of all political positions held by national deputy Francisco Gomes. Furthermore, the party calls for his resignation should suspicions of undue receipt of the social mobility subsidy and other illicit enrichment crimes be confirmed.
ADN-Madeira expressed concern that these alleged facts might be overshadowed by the incident of the break-in at the office of CHEGA leader André Ventura in the Assembly of the Republic. The party suggests this episode could be an attempt to divert media attention and prevent a thorough investigation into the deputy.
The statement concludes by appealing for consistency from André Ventura, urging him to apply the same standards for demanding resignations to members of his own party as he does to other politicians. The note ends with a quote attributed to Julius Caesar: "Caesar's wife must not only be honest, but must also seem to be honest."
