PS Secretary General Pedro Nuno Santos this Wednesday called on Prime Minister Luis Montenegro to work together to solve specific justice problems by exposing breaches of secrecy and revealing wiretaps.
During the two-week debate, the Socialist general secretary devoted much of his time to the issue of justice, criticizing the “systematic violation of the secrecy of justice and the disclosure of wiretaps” and warning against “faking it or whistling to the side.”
“We do not exclude the need for justice reform, but this justice reform does not turn into a mega-process that leads to nothing. Let’s be able to identify problems and find specific solutions to specific problems. PS is available to do this job,” he asserted.
Pedro Nuno Santos said the PS would carry out “the work autonomously” to present proposals, but acknowledging that the panel did not have the necessary majority to approve the diplomas, he turned to the Prime Minister, whose government is supported by the PSD/CDS. -PP of the majority, subject to the possibility of collaboration.
“There is work to do, we are ready and we would like to know whether the Prime Minister follows these concerns of the PS and the willingness to work together,” he challenged.
In his response, Prime Minister Luis Montenegro began by emphasizing that the goal is to ensure that all “principles” are respected and affirmed that the government is ready to “deepen the rules of criminal law and criminal procedure.”
“The country needs to believe in justice and believe in fairness, as I rightly said, there should be an investigation, but investigations should not be eternal. I also agree with you. There are deadlines that today are only indicative and which should begin to be peremptory,” – he agreed.
According to Montenegro, “while respecting the separation of powers, respecting the principles of the Constitution, the principles of the rule of law and democracy,” the government is ready to “deepen the functioning of criminal justice and the criminal process.”
“Not by looking at any specific case, but by looking at the global assessment of everything that happens every day, in the courts and in the authorities investigating crimes, about all citizens. They are more or less known, whether they live in Lisbon or in Porto or in any other part of our country,” he emphasized.
