“Internal war” in the DNA because of the 4 thousand euros per month paid to Joana Amaral Dias

According to President Bruno Fialho, it is “compensation” for the psychologist’s losses. The case may reach the PGR because “there are other situations”.

The news that shook the ADN emerged this Wednesday: the party will be paying a monthly allowance to Joana Amaral Dias.

According to , the contract is 4 thousand euros and is done to husband’s company of the psychologist, who was the ADN candidate in the last European elections, in the legislative elections and will still be a presidential candidate supported by the same party.

Throughout 2024, a total of 25.830 euros to Mutant Expression, a company owned by Pedro Pinto, husband of Joana Amaral Dias. And, throughout this year, ADN has already made several payments to the same company.

The justification of the party president, Bruno Fialho, is that the amounts are paid to “pay off the services provided” to DNA.

The 4 thousand euros per month “were not a retainer or political compensation”, assures Bruno. “It is something always assumed by the party, and which is intended to compensate for the professional and financial losses suffered by Joana Amaral Dias for accepting to be the party’s candidate” – in other words, it is compensation for professional losses, in psychology.

Already on the channel, Joana Amaral Dias reacted: “Let’s see what will happen. Everything that has happened until now has been with the consent of the DNA elements and, therefore, from now on, this will continue to be the case”.

President Bruno Fialho continues to guarantee that the payment is not a contract. It’s a “compensation for lost wages” of the candidate.

It is “analyzing all internal documentation available to the party, regarding this and other situations”.If you find a criminal offense, consider filing a criminal complaint.

José Manuel Castro has already asked the party’s National Council to cancel support to Joana Amaral Dias in the presidential elections.

However, the same José Manuel Castro says that he has already ceased to be secretary general of DNA. He was removed “solely by decision” of Bruno Fialho.
