PS accuses Hugo Soares of "using falsehood and lies as a political weapon"

The PS accused Hugo Soares (PSD) of "using falsehood and lies as a political weapon" in response to the social-democrat's statements that the secretary-general of the PS, Eurico Brilhante Dias, is "the father of SEF's death." Eurico Brilhante Dias considered the accusation "absolutely false," noting that it was his party that implemented the transformation of the SEF into the current Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum (AIMA), with the process having started during the PS government of António Costa. The showdown between the two parties comes in the context of the discussion about migration policy and the management of border services in Portugal.
