Chega will request a commission of inquiry into the case of Portuguese-Brazilian twins being treated at the Santa Maria Hospital, Andre Ventura said this Thursday.
“All of the individuals involved either enabled or permitted irregularities in the access and treatment of the twins on SNS. The argument that the secretary alone and of her own free will made an appointment with two twins living on the other side of the world is untenable. ridiculous. (…) Explained by Lacerda Sales [ex-secretário de Estado] This is disturbing and causes laughter,” said President Chegi.
The Inspectorate General of Medical Activities (IGAS) believes that in June 2020, children had irregular access to the spinal muscular atrophy treatment Zolgensma, costing the state four million euros. “There were irregularities in this process. He did not follow the usual route, but via email,” noted Andre Ventura.
Chega will continue to work with the parliamentary committee because “it is important that political power is not immune” and “that a thorough investigation is carried out” into the case, which “caused taxpayers millions of euros in losses” and “sullied the election campaign.”
The party “would like to see a commission of inquiry established based on the agreement” of the parties in the Assembly of the Republic, but is prepared to make a “potential request” if such consensus does not exist.
IGAS will send a final report to the Ministry of State (MP), which is responsible for determining whether any crime was committed during the treatment of the twins at SNS.
