Algarve ULS denies having prohibited workers from attending Medicine

The Local Health Unit (ULS) of the Algarve clarified that it never prohibited its workers from attending the Medicine course at the University of Algarve, after the Socialist Party (PS) questioned the Minister of Health about alleged restrictions on employment contracts. The ULS explained that the statements by its president, Tiago Botelho, were "improperly interpreted and taken out of context," noting that it did not adopt any deliberation to that effect. The institution clarified that attending a higher education course is not considered a situation of function accumulation and that it complies with the legal provisions for worker-students, although it considers that the demands of the medical course are "hardly compatible" with the simultaneous exercise of regular professional activity.

The PF identified receipts for transfers of 3.8 million reais to Belline in exchange for institutional favoritism, and found that both public servants exceeded their legal duties by previously reviewing draft documents, sharing confidential information, and participating in unofficial meetings to benefit the financial institution.
