Transparency body did not verify all interests and income declarations of current Government

dnoticias.pt15 September 2026 at 10:56

The Entity for Transparency (EpT) publicly acknowledged that it was unable to complete the verification of all single declarations of interests and income of the current Government. This admission comes in a written response dated 28 August, sent by the entity responsible for overseeing these declarations.

According to the response, there are pending processes awaiting decisions from the Constitutional Court on what type of information should be declared. This legal uncertainty has prevented the full completion of the verifications.

The EpT is the body responsible for overseeing the single declaration of income, assets, and interests of political office holders, including members of the Government.

The questions that prompted this response were posed by the Left Block, a party that has been pressing for greater transparency in the Executive's actions.

Why this matters

Readers in Portugal learn that the body responsible for overseeing the transparency of political office holders has not yet finished verifying the current Government's declarations. This may raise questions about the effectiveness of the mechanisms for controlling interests in the Government. The situation is partly due to pending proceedings at the Constitutional Court that have not yet defined what information officials should declare.
