António Costa, the former prime minister, said this Friday in a statement to CNN Portugal that there is “no point” in having a debate about the powerful people process in which he is involved and which led to his dismissal be held in the Assembly of the Republic.

“I think the proper place for assessment is in the courts, and it is in the courts that they should be assessed, not in a political entity. I think that’s what the Constitution says. “I think it is a very clear principle of separation and interdependence of powers, which means that no one power is completely independent – they are all interdependent on each other, but the ways in which this interdependence is implemented varies without sacrificing the value of independence,” he said .
