Lisbon Mayor Moedas Faces Criticism Over Cultural Appointments; Rita Rato Removed from Aljube Museum

Lisbon Mayor Carlos Moedas and EGEAC are criticized for the removal of Francisco Frazão from Teatro do Bairro Alto, interpreted as a political purge due to far-right pressure in the Lisbon City Council. This follows another change in cultural management with Rita Rato's removal from the Aljube Museum, as the former communist deputy was not reappointed for a new mandate, with Rato claiming no justification was given for her departure.
