The director of Social Security in Portalegre and socialist candidate in the last local councils was removed from her position on the day of the elections. The Social Security Institute says that it only ended a relationship that was ongoing under a replacement regime.
After more than five years at the head of the Social Security District Center of Portalegre, Sandra Cardoso, second on the Socialist Party’s list to the Chamber of Crato, found out that she was no longer a Socialist the day after the .
He campaigned, the list won the elections and, he says, he had already decided to take up the position on the council, especially because he had a long-term position as director of Social Security.
To SIC, the Social Security Institute clarifies that Sandra Cardoso had already ceased her service commission on July 16th, remaining in day-to-day management until the appointment of a new director, which happened on October 13th.
Given that this is current management, the Social Security Institute understands that this is not a dismissal, but rather the end of a service commission, with the appointment of a new director on a replacement basis being sufficient.
The new director of Social Security in Portalegre took office on October 13th. The new executive of the Municipality of Crato was sworn in on the 31st.
