The Republic’s prosecutor general said this Friday that it is “obvious” that there are “multiple forces” attacking the prosecutor’s office and called for a thoughtful political debate in a “constructive spirit” on justice reforms, ruling out any possibility of continuation in office.
“Under no circumstances is this out of the question. No, I have the time and conditions to be happy,” the Prosecutor General of the Republic (PGR) Lucília Gago decisively told journalists as she entered the second day of the XIII Congress of the Union of Prosecutors (SMMP) in Ponta Delgada, Azores, after she was questioned about her willingness to continue in her position.
As for the speech at the opening of the congress, on Thursday the PGR repeated its words about attacks and internal and external pressure on the Prosecutor’s Office (MP).
“This is evidence, this is evidence that this took place,” Lucilia Gago said, referring to “multiple forces,” “of different origins, different origins.”
“The result is one that we all saw and therefore does not require comment. It’s all in the speech,” he added.
