The candidate, and general secretary of the Socialist Party, for the legislative elections, Pedro Nuno Santos, received, for nine years, between 2005 and 2015, 203 thousand euros in travel allowance, despite having a house in Lisbon.
Pedro Nuno Santos was a deputy for the PS and throughout this period he owned an apartment on Rua Marcos Portugal, in the capital.
