Before that, the presidential candidacy of the former social-democratic leader presented this Friday a list of clients of the LS2MM company, for strategic consultancy work: Alberto Couto Alves SGPS (which led to an anonymous complaint to the Public Ministry, which has since been archived), Portuguese Association of Energy Engineering Industries, Atrys Portugal Centro Médico Avançado, Common Denominator – Business Consultancy and Painhas.
Reacting to an article from Saturday, where it is read that Marques Mendes earned more than 700 thousand euros in the last two years as a consultant at Abreu Advogados and in the LS2MM company, the presidential candidate undertook to disclose the list of his family company, after authorization from clients, but not from the law firm, as it would jeopardize professional secrecy.
The LS2MM list includes, within the scope of conferences given by Marques Mendes, the Heavy Passenger Transport Association, the McDonald’s Restaurant Association, Brandom – Comunicação, Imagem e Eventos, CBRE – Sociedade de Mediação Imobiliária, Cimpor – Serviços, Eixo e Debate, El Circo del Marketing SL;, Ger Imotion; GS1 Portugal, Markettividade – Marketing, Communication and Sales, Primavera – Business Software Solutions, Rede Global, Shopitur, Tabaqueira II and Tedcom.
SIC and Medipress also appear on the list of Marques Mendes’ family company, due to the weekly television commentary space and opinion articles he wrote.
