The president of the Palmela parish council announced his departure from the Chega party, describing the decision as "personal, considered, and definitive." This change comes after several resignations within the party structure, which may affect local dynamics.

The issue of the lack of quorum in the council will be addressed at an extraordinary assembly, where the current situation and possible solutions will be discussed. Without a clear consensus among members, it may be necessary to call for by-elections.

The resignations accompanying the mayor's departure raise questions about political stability in Palmela and the continuity of the body, although details about the implications have not been disclosed. According to a report from Observador, the emerging situation will be analyzed by local officials.
