PSD de Tábua accuses PS of impasse in the parish of Midões

O PSD de Tábua, within the district of Coimbra, today held the PS responsible for the impasse in the constitution of the executive of the Assembly of Freguesia de Midões, which led the Government to appoint, on Thursday, an administrative commission.

Although it was the most voted political force in the local elections of October 2025, the PS and the opposition did not agree to form the executive.

On Thursday, an order from the Secretary of State for Internal Administration published in Diário da República appointed an Administrative Commission of the Assembly of Freguesia de Midões, consisting of two elements of the PS and one of the coalition Correr por Tabua (PSD/CDS-PP/IL).

“ Although this whole process is to be regretted by the exclusive fault of the Socialist Party of Tábua and its candidate Paulo Portugal, we must regret that it has to be a state body to explain and exemplify how a Board of Freguesia is constituted ", today stressed the Political Commission of the PSD, in a statement.

According to the Social Democrats, who were the second most voted force in the parish of Midões, the composition of the administrative commission follows the proportionality “more correct” and that which the party “always defended”.

“ With all the drag of this process who lost and continues to lose is the parish of Midões and the population ", stressed the PSD, considering that it always defended the inclusion of its candidate in the executive, "which was never proposed by the president of the Junta de Freguesia Paulo Portugal".

To the social-democratic council of Tábua, Paulo Portugal “tried to the Midonians, because it never presented the vote in the Assembly of Freguesia of any other party, other than the PS, according to the minutes”.

Also on Thursday, in a statement, the Political Commission of the PS of Tabua considered that the decision of the Government “gave reason” to the socialists.

“ This composition of the government's responsibility, through the Secretary of State of the Internal Administration, corresponds to the understanding that Paulo Portugal [most voted candidate] sought to achieve for the constitution of the executive of the Board of Freguesia, by expressing willingness to join an elected coalition ", stressed the PS.

On Friday, the chairman of the Board of Municipalities of Midões resigned from office after more than a year without being able to form executive, after the last municipal candidate in which he was the most voted candidate.

Socialist Paulo Portugal and the other elected members of the list announced the resignation of the mandates “before the political impasse that has been dragging on for more than a year and that, despite the various Freguesy Assemblies held, continues to prevent the establishment of an Executive capable of ensuring the normal functioning of the Board and giving the answers that the population craves”.

In the local elections of 12 October 2025, the PS won the elections to the Junta de Freguesia de Midões, with 491 votes, electing four elements, while the Coalition Correr por Tabua (PSD/CDS-PP/IL) won 298 votes and the party arrives 200 votes, electing three and two elements, respectively.
