Miguel Sousa Tavares criticized the attacks directed at the prime minister for going to the beach one day, questioning what would be needed to satisfy the critics. The commentator made a provocative comparison by asking if what they want is "Tibetan monks leading the Government".
Sousa Tavares also expressed support for the Minister of Internal Administration, Luís Neves, defending him from the criticism that has been directed at the government official.
The commentator also questioned the functions of the Attorney General, suggesting that this figure "does not know what its functions are", at a moment of political tension.
These statements come in a context of public debate about the actions of the executive and the tutelary figures of the Portuguese judicial system.
