MDT Interview | Leonel Alves September that he decided to run for the top barrister’s post after Valente asked for a “total renovation” of the AAM’s board during an interview with Radio Almeida Correia’s bid Macau last May. Valente reversed his previous stance on the matter by saying that the reason behind his deci- ‘positive and courageous’ sion to re-run was Correia’s can- didacy precisely. In an announcement on TDM-TV, two weeks ago Valente called Correia’s bid one of “con-

renato marques renato frontation” and “rupture,” while labeling the challenger as “radi- cal” and “corrosive” in his politi- cal commentary. A week later, Correia respon- ded to the criticism on TDM-TV, saying that Valente’s words were “inadequate” and a possible vio- lation of lawyers’ ethics, which states that lawyers should be civil and avoid personal attacks among peers. He reaffirmed that he was running “to fill a void left precisely by constant calls for change” in the AAM board by the top barrister and “his inabili- ty to promote that change.” Some lawyers publicly ex- pressed their support for Cor- We are all reia, while others welcomed the lawyers, challenger’s bid.
