According to the summons sent today to the national councillors, which Lusa had access to, the party's highest body between congresses will meet at 9:00 pm at the CDS-PP national headquarters, at Largo Adelino Amaro da Costa, in Lisbon.
The agenda includes the approval of the party's candidates to join the Aliança Democrática list -- a coalition that brings together PSD, CDS-PP and PPM -- as well as the approval of "the change of name of the Electoral Coalition for the European Parliament Election to "AD - Aliança Democrática"", after the similarity with the designation with the ADN in the legislative elections of March. According to several sources heard by Lusa, the CDS should indicate the fourth name on the AD list, which will probably be a woman. The new body, elected today at the 31st Congress, which took place in Viseu, will also elect a deputy secretary-general and present, discuss and vote on the CDS-PP Jurisdiction and Discipline Regulations. This extraordinary meeting has already been called by the new president of the National Council, Luís Queiró. The PSD, a coalition partner, will also meet its National Council, on the same day and at the same time, to approve the list of candidates and change the name of the coalition. In January, PSD, CDS-PP and PPM signed a coalition agreement for the legislative elections of March 10 and the European elections of June 9 "with the purpose of offering Portugal the necessary political change and an ambitious, reformist, moderate, stable and majority government". On the day of the legislative elections, the AD coalition (which appeared on the ballots as Aliança Democrática and with the acronyms of the parties that make it up) appealed to the National Elections Commission to issue a message warning of the similarities in name with the National Democratic Alternative (ADN) on the ballots, without success. The CDS-PP currently has one MEP, a position that was held until March by the president, Nuno Melo, who is now Minister of National Defense. In the last European elections, the centrists ran on their own lists and obtained 6.19% of the votes, which corresponds to 205,111 ballots, according to the General Secretariat of the Ministry of Internal Administration (SGMAI).
