Sócrates returns to court without a lawyer: "A citizen has the right to have a lawyer"

Sábado10 September 2026 at 09:34

Sócrates returned this Thursday to the Campus de Justiça to make "defendant statements," in a new session of the proceedings in which he is involved. The former prime minister appeared in court without a lawyer, declaring that "a citizen has the right to have a lawyer." This position from Sócrates comes at a time when the legal proceedings continue to advance, with the former government official choosing not to be accompanied by legal defense. The return to court marks another step in the case involving the former prime minister, with the scenario of the defendant's lack of legal representation continuing.
