The Portuguese courts resumed their normal activity today after the judicial holiday period. This date marks the formal return to the usual operation of the judicial system.
However, the Public Prosecutor's Office faces a situation of great weakness. The structure remains dangerously weakened, which threatens the effective functioning of the judicial machinery.
The return to court activities thus occurs in a context of alert regarding the capacity of the Public Prosecutor's Office to respond to pending cases and new cases that will be filed.
