On Monday, the agriculture minister said there were no legal barriers to appoint Luisa Sa Gomez as deputy director general for veterinary medicine, despite her being accused of a number of crimes, including abuse of power.
“What I can say about this is that there are no legal obstacles for a person to be currently under a replacement regime that will end soon, not least because the competition for this position ended on January 23rd.” , said Maria do Seu Antunes, speaking to reporters after the meeting of the Council of Ministers of Agriculture of the European Union in Brussels.
According to Público this Monday, Luisa Sá Gomes, a lawyer appointed as deputy director general of veterinary medicine, is charged with offenses of abuse of power, economic involvement in business and forgery.
