In 2013, with the reform imposed by the then PSD/CDS-PP government, with the “Relvas Law”, the Beja district lost 25 percent of its parishes, passing 100 to 75. With the approval of the eight proposals, 8 new parishes, in the next municipal elections, the district of Beja will now have 83 parishes.
Presidents of unions with three terms cannot run for separate parishes.
Of the ten parish unions in the Beja district that may disintegrate, there are four whose presidents are serving their third term and cannot re-apply for the presidency of the parishes that will separate.
Contrary to what happened in 2013, presidents of parish unions who are now serving their third consecutive term, will not be able to run for president of parishes that separate from the one they have led since then.
The precept is written into the law of 2021, which defines the breeding regime, modification and extinction of parishes and clarifies the rules on limiting the successive renewal of mandates. The National Elections Commission (CNE) Haven't even debated the issue yet.
