«Luís Neves já vai tarde. Não surpreende, padrão ético de Montenegro degradou bastante a democracia»

"Luís Neves is leaving none too soon. It's not surprising; Montenegro's ethical standards have significantly degraded democracy." Former Minister of Internal Administration, Eduardo Cabrita, was on NOW to analyze the controversy surrounding Luís Neves and the handling of the process. Eduardo Cabrita considered that the events of the last few weeks jeopardize the authority necessary to lead the fight against the fires and the command of the security forces, arguing that it is essential to provide swift clarifications. "At this point, Luís Neves is leaving none too soon," said the former minister, criticizing the lack of presentation of documents and explanations in light of the news that has emerged. Eduardo Cabrita also pointed to the Prime Minister, Luís Montenegro, as responsible, stating that "his ethical standards have significantly degraded democracy" and that it makes no sense to wait for the conclusions of a criminal investigation by the Public Prosecutor's Office, which could take months or years. Regarding the possibility of a parliamentary commission of inquiry, the former minister argued that the Assembly of the Republic has political and administrative oversight functions, but should not confuse its role with that of public prosecutors. Eduardo Cabrita also highlighted the differences between this case and that of the Minister of Education, emphasizing that the priority in relation to Luís Neves is the preservation of the credibility of the Judiciary Police and the authority of the State. #EduardoCabrita #LuisNeves #JudiciaryPolice #LuisMontenegro #InternalAdministration #Government #PS #PortuguesePolitics #AssemblyoftheRepublic #PublicProsecutor #Security #Fires #PoliceOfficer #CurrentEvents #NOW
