Breaking News: José Miguel Júdice Resigns from Portugal's Assembly Over Government's "Cacophony"
José Miguel Júdice, a former leader of Portugal's Social Democratic Party, has resigned from the Assembly of the Portuguese Republic, citing the government's "cacophony" as his reason for leaving.
Júdice, who served as leader of the PSD from 2010 to 2018, announced his resignation in a letter to the party's parliamentary group, saying that he could no longer support the government's policies.
The press release stated:- Júdice said "the government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic has been chaotic and incompetent," accusing the government of "failing to provide clear guidance and support to businesses and citizens."
- He said the government's "economic policies have been ineffective," adding that "the country's economy is in a state of decline."
- He criticized the government's "environmental policies," saying that "the government is not doing enough to protect the environment."
Júdice's resignation is a blow to the government, which is already facing criticism from other opposition parties.
The government has not yet commented on Júdice's resignation.
Júdice's resignation comes at a time when the government is facing increasing pressure from the opposition. The PSD is the main opposition party in Portugal, and Júdice's resignation is likely to further weaken the government's position.
