Álvaro Beleza, member of the Socialist Party political commission, revealed this Sunday to Diário de Notícias that he is "confident" that the Luís Neves case will be resolved before October 5th. The socialist thus set a concrete date for the resolution of the case, stating that this is necessary "for the sake of trust in institutions".
Beleza's statement comes in the context of growing political pressure on the Minister of Internal Administration, whose name is not mentioned in the article, but who is involved in the case involving Luís Neves. The member of the PS political commission used the interview to emphasize the urgency of a resolution before the indicated date.
The Luís Neves case has been generating political instability, and the setting of such a specific deadline by an influential member of the party demonstrates the importance this issue holds within the Socialist Party. The reference to "trust in institutions" indicates that the party recognizes the impact that the continuation of this situation may have on the government's credibility.
