PSD and Chega ask to hear the rehabilitated deputy Galamba in the commission of inquiry

The SDP and Chega have asked this Friday for a hearing before the TAP Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry on João Galamba’s rehabilitated deputy Frederico Pinheiro.

These pleas to be heard by both sides came at the end of the day when Federico Pinheiro was fired for “behavior inconsistent with duties and responsibilities” and his accusations against João Galamba, already categorically denied by the Minister of Infrastructure, that he sought not to provide information to the commission for the PVR investigation.

In demanding a hearing, which the PSD wants “to call urgently,” the Social Democrats denounce “very serious statements” by PS parliamentary leader Eurico Brillante Diaz, namely accusations against other parliamentary groups. about “violation of the law and the transfer of information to the media, and which was transferred to the investigative commission of the PTP.”

“Today it became known to the media that the aforementioned leak of information could have come from the Ministry of Infrastructure itself, namely from the notes of Deputy Minister Frederico Pinheiro, who participated in a “secret meeting” between members (members) of the Parliamentary Group, advisers to the Ministry of Infrastructure and Parliamentary Affairs and General director of TAP,” the message says.

“Since the media disclosure of this information leak on Wednesday was followed by the resignation of the aforementioned Deputy Minister of Infrastructure and a serious contempt in the same ministry yesterday, Thursday, with accusations of Frederico Pinheiro of subservience to an attempt to hide and falsify information,” PSD justifies.

Chega already mentions that former deputy João Galamba reports that “he was instructed that, in the event of a request from a parliamentary commission of inquiry, the minutes of the meeting would not be handed over as they were an unofficial document, and later said ministry even stated that these records did not exist, which, in his opinion, is clearly false.”

“This situation is particularly serious because it could mean that there is a member of the government who is deliberately trying to hide information from the parliamentary investigative committee, with all the legal consequences that this entails,” Chega said.

Rehabilitated Deputy Minister João Galamba Frederico Pinheiro today accused the infrastructure ministry of wanting to withhold information from the TAP inquiry commission about a “preparatory meeting” with the former director general.

However, in a statement, the Minister of Infrastructure “categorically” denied the accusations of the rehabilitated MP, noting that “on the contrary” “all the documentation requested by the CPI was provided in full.”
