Ourique: "Orange Fire" in choosing PSD list of head.
Maria Inês Guerreiro, It was chosen last Friday in Concelhia Ourique to be the head of the list in the next municipal by PSD. The presence of two "factions" led to a "war without mercy".
The name of the former director of the Employment Centre of Ourique, Maria Inês Guerreiro, It was the most talked about to be nominated to take the lead in PSD, as head of list in the forthcoming local elections.
Last Friday, Maria Ines, It was the most voted in the Assembly Chamber of Ourique, but, one of the other two "chains oranges" sought to dissuade elected. The "family gift" was that this was the second list, to António Afonso, was the head of list.
The war broke because Maria Ines warrior, it was opposed, as vice-president, John Guerreiro, in the struggle for District PSD, this list that vera supported by José Raul dos Santos. This is where comes the "family". Jose Raul dos Santos is the uncle of Maria Inês Guerreiro.
But the "squeeze the juice from the orange" was not reduced to this shock. Has learned the Lidador News (LN), not to bend to the "power" Uncle, the elected has started talks with the "third way". Accept being number two. However realizing the fragility and the war between the "power brokers", the "third way" issued an ultimatum: "We lead list, but stay out (Maria Ines)".
And the war "without barracks" is installed in the PSD. And the questions are: Who succeeds who in PSD ? Marcelo Guerreiro has gained opposition ?
But Ourique does not end the "struggle for power" in PSD. In Almodovar, the PSD according to the IPA (Independent) to António Sebastião was the head of list, can "lead to resurgence" of Ricardo Colaco as the list head "orange" to Almodôvar municipality's attempt to regain lost power for 4 years for the socialist Antonio Bota.
Remember last day 22 Feb., the Social Democratic Party, revealed in its online page that already about one third of applications to authorized municipal elections. The National Policy Committee, meeting that day, approved the second set of names, a process that guarantees remain closed until the end of March. No district Beja, as revealed LN, I was not yet approved any candidate, although the "public square" have already appeared the names of Pinela Fernandes (Beja), António Sebastião (Almodovar) and Maria Inês Guerreiro (Ourique).
