Prime Minister Luís Montenegro expressed support for Pedro Nuno Santos, keeping him in his position as Minister of Infrastructure, despite the siege by the Attorney General (PGR) on the former PS leader. The PGR came forward to explain the criminal investigations pending against Neves and the urgency of the ongoing investigations.
PSD warned that Pedro Nuno Santos has no obligation to leave the executive if he is made a defendant. This position comes at a time when the Minister of Infrastructure is facing investigations related to his former position.
Montenegro set a clear benchmark for the situation, but the article notes that he said different things in the past about similar cases involving other politicians. This apparent contradiction raises questions about the consistency of his position.
The situation places Montenegro in a delicate position, maintaining a minister under criminal investigation while simultaneously trying to project an image of transparency and moral rigor in governance.
