The announcement took place in the Committee on Constitutional Affairs, Rights, Freedoms and Guarantees about the death of Homeniuk in the space equivalent to the Lisbon Airport Temporary Installation Center, at the request of the unregistered deputy Joacine Katar Moreira and the PSD.
After the PSD’s criticism that the Government had no plans for the future of the SEF, Eduardo Cabrita stressed that in the Government plan drawn up before the 2019 elections, the desire to make an organic separation of police and police functions was explicit. administrative. .
Having defended this point, the Minister of Internal Administration affirmed that “at the beginning of January” the reform of the SEF will begin, and the process involves three more ministries in addition to his own: Foreign Relations, Presidency and Justice. The term for this reform is expected to be six months, Cabrita announced.
On Wednesday, the Ministry announced that the SEF restructuring process should be completed in the first half of 2021 and that it would be coordinated by the Service’s national deputy directors, José Luís do Rosário Barão – who was promoted to replace the director – and Fernando. Parreiral da Silva.
In the same note, the MAI pointed out that the joint work between Security Forces and Services begins immediately to redefine the exercise of police functions in border management and in combating human trafficking networks.
It is also the intention of the ministry to reinforce its strategic intervention in the fields of asylum and migration management.
During this response session, Cabrita also addressed the various interpellations of the deputies who questioned him about the conditions that he or Magina da Silva should remain in their respective positions. The national director of the PSP, Magina da Silva, had admitted on Sunday that work was being done on the merger of the PSP with the SEF, after a meeting with the President of the Republic.
Rejecting the idea that Magina da Silva, who is under his tutelage, rejected it, the Interior Minister said that he had already been informed that the national director of the PSP met with Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa just to deliver a book on the PSP . However, Cabrita escaped the question of his compatibility with the official, saying only that “the PSP must limit its public interventions to matters within its strict operational competence.”
On Sunday, the minister took a few minutes to react to Magina’s statements to say that a matter of the importance of a restructuring of the police forces is not announced “by a police director.”
Cabrita expects quick compensation from the Ukrainian citizen’s family and admits mistakes, but refuses to resign
Eduardo Cabrita said he expected a compensation decision to be made faster than in cases where “there was also intervention” by the Ombudsman’s Office, such as in the forest fires and in the command process.
According to a resolution of the Council of Ministers, the compensation will be borne by the budget of the SEF, “exercising the right of appeal in the terms that result from the judicially proven individual responsibility.”
In the final minutes of the hearing, which lasted two and a half hours in the parliamentary committee, Eduardo Cabrita was reminded that he had not answered several questions from the deputies, even if he would admit or resign.
“I was unequivocal in the answer,” responded Luis Marques Guedes, president of the commission, who listed the unanswered questions.
Moments before he had said that he had made a commitment that would only be possible if he remained in the Government: to work “with parliament”, “to render accounts in regimental hearings” in other “concrete ones, like this one.”
“I’m here today and I’ll be there when they understand it,” he reinforced.
Then, without recounting the sentence of the case that led him this afternoon to answer in the commission – the death of the Ukrainian citizen Ihor Homeniuk, at the SEF facilities, at Lisbon airport, in March – he admitted errors, without saying which ones.
“The government can certainly make mistakes. And the minister, personally, even more. I’m the first to understand that I can clearly make mistakes [mas] we have no doubts about core values, ”he said.
