Rui Moreira says the PSD is not telling the truth about its “non-candidacy” for Brussels
Throughout the day, the mayor was one of the most talked about names. Everything indicated that Rui Moreira would be the head of the AD list for the European elections. In the middle of the afternoon on Monday, he started to be named number 2, but this information was quickly refuted. But, after all, what happened? To SIC, the mayor of Porto tells the conversations he had, in recent days, with Luís Montenegro.
“Now we will have the Mini [Francisco Conceição] . Who came out saying bad things for free. And Sérgio Conceição is back doing scenes on the bench. And everything remains blind. They blame SAD, the players, the referees, the VAR, even the ball catcher, the opponents’ anti-game… no one sees the obvious. We have a failed coach. Let us be grateful for the past and bye bye it is late. Because we’re not going there with him. And he doesn’t have fair play”, 05-09-2023

Invitation that Rui Moreira immediately refused: “I’m the mayor of Porto. For me and the position I hold, I would never accept it, whether it’s Bugalho or anyone else.”
