The President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, emphasized “pconstitutional and legal role of the prosecutor’s office in the Portuguese legal system,” in a message published on the President’s page addressed to the Union of Judges of the Prosecutor’s Office.
Despite the invitation, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa did not attend the Congress, which began this Thursday and ended this Saturday in Ponta Delgada in the Azores. However, he did not let the date pass. The president, in a note published on the presidency website, asked the prosecutor’s office to combine “maximum rigor with maximum readiness for results, through constant sensitivity to the community’s perception of institutions and actions, through intelligence in constant awareness of this relatively new reality.” “.
Marcelo asked that the meeting of judges “not miss the opportunity to reflect on so many new problems arising from globalization, the sophistication of international crime against people, institutions and local, regional and national communities, the constant attention to the most fragile, defenseless and excluded segments of the population.” “.
The president’s message came a day after the Republic’s prosecutor general, Lucilia Gago, announced that she would not retain her position. He believes prosecutors are under attack from “multiple forces” and called for a thoughtful political debate in a “constructive spirit” on justice reform.
