At the end of a visit to a support center for victims of domestic violence in Lisbon, Catarina Martins was asked if she was satisfied with the Government’s explanations about the news that the executive had provided false information to the European Union about prosecutor José War. which he would come to assume as a “slip”.
“It’s hard to be satisfied, it’s hard to see how something like this can happen. Unfortunately, in Portuguese politics we have seen curricular problems on several occasions, it is perhaps the most stupid subject, because a lie on a curriculum only serves one thing: to get caught, it is what always happens. What continues to happen is unacceptable and unforgivable, ”he said.
The BE coordinator admitted that “there are lapses”, but considered that it was necessary “too long to fill the gap” and that this only happened after a public complaint.
“It was important that these types of mechanisms, which are too common in Portugal, end,” he appealed.
