JPP according to CPI to Luís Neves: "We cannot turn a blind eye"

Now8 September 2026 at 17:47

The Parliamentary Committee of Inquiry (CPI) addressed Luís Neves with the message "We cannot turn a blind eye," suggesting that it is not possible to ignore the situation in question.

The comment was made in the context of the responsibilities arising from the investigation. Filipe Sousa highlighted the separation between the two types of responsibility, stating that "if criminal responsibility lies with the justice system, political responsibility lies with all of us in this Parliament."

Filipe Sousa's statement indicates that, regardless of any eventual criminal findings, members of Parliament have a duty to assume their political responsibilities regarding the situation under analysis.
