The president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, considers that it is time for “national authorities to investigate” the case of alleged corruption, which triggered a political crisis in Portugal.
Von der Leyen was responding to a question about whether she is aware of the political crisis in Portugal and the resignation of Prime Minister António Costa, and whether the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) funds could be affected.
The president of the European Commission responded briefly saying that she is aware of the case based on information circulating in the press.
“We follow the news from Portugal and now it is up to the national authorities to investigate,” responded the president of the European Commission, without making clear, from the point of view of Brussels, the possible consequences of the political crisis, in the field of implementation. of the PRR.
