"You're a Freemason." Pinto Luz was approached by a man during the campaign

The incident occurred over a month ago during a PSD campaign event in the Setúbal district for the local elections in Seixal, Setúbal. Late in the afternoon of June 18, a man approached the Social Democratic delegation, which included the Minister of Infrastructure and Housing, Miguel Pinto Luz, and became enraged after allegedly being bumped into.

A PSP source told Observador that the man, displeased with an alleged unwanted physical interaction, allegedly said: "These guys are all the same, they're all Freemasons who think they own everything." He then turned to the minister and said: " I know who you are, you're a Freemason, where do you live? It's a small world, and we'll meet again ."

Sábado had already reported that an altercation had occurred at this election campaign event, information confirmed to Observador by an official source from the Setúbal PSP District Command. The intimidating behavior of the man, in his 50s, reportedly led to the police being called in, who filed a report and identified the man, not considering a crime to have been committed.

“While the political event was taking place, there was a small altercation with a man who was doing physical activity , dressed in equipment for that purpose, and who said he had been bumped into by one of the people who were part of the party delegation,” another PSP source revealed to Observador.

The same source confirmed that the facts “were classified only as inappropriate behavior and that the minister also did not want criminal proceedings.”
