President Chega this Wednesday defended the resignation of the members of the Supervisory Board of the Information Service of the Portuguese Republic (CFSIRP), considering that they had lost “the conditions of impartiality and independence for the exercise of office.”
“This supervisory board is not suitable for the function it performs, it is too dependent on political power” and “does not provide guarantees of impartiality, which is one of the main requirements for maintaining the position,” Andre Ventura told reporters in statements. in the Assembly of the Republic.
Pointing out that members of the CFSIRP are elected by the Assembly of the Republic and can only be dismissed “under certain circumstances”, leader Chega considered that these conditions were met and stated that the party “will begin the process of dismissal”, asking for a “dissenting opinion on dismissal to the 1st commission “.
This process was initiated by the Liberal Initiative, which more than a month ago proposed to hear the SIRP Supervisory Board for this purpose. That hearing took place this Wednesday, and MP Patricia Gilvaz of Illinois told reporters that an opinion is already scheduled for the Commission on Constitutional Affairs regarding the process of firing the SIRP Supervisory Board.
André Ventura argued that the process initiated by IL “is not formally a dismissal, it is a hearing process for that purpose”, and defended that, according to his interpretation of the law, “the process of dismissal should be formally initiated from that goal.”
Chegi’s president believes that “the legal basis that allowed the SIS to operate has not yet been clearly defined, securely and definitively” in the recovery of the computer, which was in the possession of the former Assistant Minister of Infrastructure. , Frederico Pineiro, 26 April.
“Without phantasmagoric interpretations, it is now clear that the government is incapable of defining a legal basis for action, but neither is the Supervisory Board,” he defended, accusing the CFSIRP of being “more concerned with protecting the government and government members than with legitimacy, efficiency and legitimacy of the activities of the SIS”.
Three members of the CFSIRP were heard behind closed doors in Parliament on the role of SIS in the recovery of a laptop taken from the Ministry of Infrastructure by Frederico Pinheiro, who had been fired from his position a few hours earlier on April 26. Adviser to Minister João Galamba.
In a statement released following this hearing, the SIRP Review Board asserted that SIS did not use prohibited means to recover the computer and that there was “no evidence of illegal activity.”
