He spent less than 8 hours in the office. Patricia Cerdeira was the new adviser to Justice Minister Rita Yudice, but has now resigned. A former RTP journalist left her post after a clash with CM about the position taken on social networks a few months ago, where he supported António Costa and criticized the Public Ministry (MP) and the SP. The victims, according to Patricia Cerdeira, are almost always the authorities. A former adviser to the Minister of Economy in the last Costa government praises, for example, the work of the Setúbal PS when it arrested the kidnappers and killers of Jessica – the girl killed in Setúbal – but when it comes to politicians, the opinion is different.
“I forgot to say something. May we never have the misfortune of falling into the hands of a government ministry,” he wrote last December, the day Marcelo dissolved parliament.

This is the second dismissal in two days in the government structure. The first case occurred with Patricia Dantas, who was appointed Deputy Minister of Finance, and also after news from CM, realizing that she is accused of fraud in obtaining a subsidy.
