The president of Transportes Metropolitanos do Porto (TMP), Marco Martins, requested, following this position he assumed in February, the renewal of the suspension of his mandate as mayor of Gondomar until October, he confirmed this Monday to Lusa.

This request for suspension of mandate, which is the third, will go to a council meeting next Wednesday, according to the agenda that Lusa had access to this Monday.
