European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said this Wednesday that she is monitoring the political crisis in Portugal following the resignation on Tuesday of Prime Minister António Costa, stressing that the investigation should be carried out by the Portuguese authorities.
“We are following the news in Portugal and now the national authorities must carry out an investigation,” said Ursula von der Leyen, answering a question about the dismissal of Antonio Costa at a press conference on reports on European Union enlargement in Brussels. .
Prime Minister Antonio Costa on Tuesday asked the President of the Republic to resign, which he accepted after the State Ministry said he was the subject of an independent Supreme Court investigation into the lithium and hydrogen projects.
