On political surveillance, for the BE leader, “the PS cannot run away and should not hide behind its absolute majority, it must answer all questions”.
“Having said that, I will say about Fernando Medina what I say about each of the other cases: Examine yourself. Examine everything and that all answers will be given”he appealed, expecting more answers about the process to come in the coming days.
Already questioned about the case of João Gomes Cravinho, then Defense Minister, Catarina Martins only noted that “there are many cases and there are cases of different nature, with different severity”, with above all “a lack of knowledge of what is the hand”.
“What I say and repeat is: the sequence of events does not help the government, the fact that an absolute majority fails, for example, to hear ministers when that was so important for political control, does not help the government’s credibility either justice, you must examine everything, it hurts who it hurts”synthesized.
Fernando Medina asked the Attorney General’s Office to be heard in the context of the trial that led to searches in the Lisbon Chamber on Tuesday and related to the conclusion of contracts during the period he presided over the autarchy.
