CNN Portugal10 September 2026 at 10:28

José Sócrates returned to court without a lawyer in a trial related to Operation Marquês. The former prime minister emphasized that the responsibility for appearing without legal representation is not his, but rather due to circumstances beyond his control.

During his intervention, Sócrates stated that "the judge doesn't want to give anyone any time at all," criticizing the way the process is being conducted. This statement was made at the beginning of the judicial session.

Sócrates is a defendant in this process that has been ongoing for some time now, with several sessions held over the last year. The issue of legal representation has been a constant point of tension in recent trial sessions.
