Incident with Rangel reached Marcelo: military wants the President to take a position

MArcelo Rebelo de Sousa has not yet commented on the political-military conflict that unfolded this week, but Expresso knows that the President of the Republic was informed by the Prime Minister, Luís Montenegro, about the details of the incident between the Minister of Foreign Affairs , Paulo Rangel, and the Chief of Staff of the Air Force (CEMFA), General João Cartaxo Alves. After a protocol error at the beginning of the month, which left the government official waiting for half an hour in Figo Maduro’s AT-1 when one of the flights of repatriates from Lebanon arrived, Rangel reprimanded the military leader in public, and has already been called to Parliament to explain yourself to the deputies. The silence maintained by the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces — at least until this Thursday afternoon — is bothering military personnel who would like to hear Marcelo on the subject.
