Portuguese President Addresses Youth and Corruption

Antena 1 RTP HLS Lisbon 17d15d Impact 5

The President of Portugal delivered a speech emphasizing the importance of active participation in democracy, particularly for young people. The proposal suggests that officials should publicly declare not only their own income but also the wealth of spouses and relatives to prevent conflicts of interest. The demand aims to move beyond simple income declarations to a more comprehensive disclosure of family assets. This follows a legal ruling involving Daniel Adrião, a former PS leadership candidate expelled in late 2025, who successfully challenged a decision by the Constitutional Court regarding his independent candidacy in Lisbon. Twenty-five young people from across Portugal met with President António José Seguro to present proposals and questions. The discussion focused on issues including institutional distrust, disinformation, and territorial inequalities within the country.
