The parliamentary leader of the PSD this Thursday demanded that the President of the Assembly of the Republic assess whether he is capable of continuing to hold this position, accusing Santos Silva of trying to condition justice.
Joaquim Miranda Sarmento, in statements to journalists in Parliament, reacted to the interview of the President of the Assembly of the Republic to the RTP3 television channel, in which Augusto Santos Silva expressed the opinion that the Supreme Court (STJ) should quickly clarify, before the elections, the criminal situation of the Prime Minister, emphasizing that the case has opened political crisis.
“You must consider whether, in these four months before the elections, you can become a guarantor of the independence and authority that the position of President of the Assembly gives,” said the parliamentary leader of the SDP.
When asked whether Santos Silva should resign if he cannot meet these conditions, Miranda Sarmento replied: “If he has a strong, strong desire to help the PS, then he will not have the conditions of independence to hold this position,” stated He. .
“The President of the Assembly cannot, I repeat cannot, condition or at least make statements that could lead to legal action,” he said, adding, however, that he was confident that Santos Silva “will know how to admit a mistake ”, admitted in an interview on Wednesday Night Fair.
