Seguro returned this Monday with an attack on the Government of António Costa and in a less veiled way than usual. In a debate promoted by the Francisco Manuel dos Santos Foundation, as a result of a study on ethics and responsibility in politics, the former secretary general of the PS, António José Seguro, saying that he did not want to refer to specific cases, said that “we last months It was not one, nor two nor three situations in which the The principle of separation of powers was modified.not to say questioned”, lamenting that “the news has no consequences”.
Challenged to comment on the cases of the former Deputy Secretary of State to the Prime Minister, Miguel Alves, or the book on former Governor Carlos Costa, António José Seguro stressed that he defined “a rule”, that of not commenting on specific cases, but left several objections that clash with situations that have occurred in the Executive headed by António Costa, not only in these two cases but also in the matter of alleged incompatibilities involving various ministers.
For António José Seguro, the speed of current times “kills the deepening of the facts”, pointing out, without specifying which, cases in which “the principle of separation of powers was twisted” and the way in which “we went from one subject to another with one lightness, as if the goal was to break the news and move on. So, who is in charge of investigating the facts? And is the country really interested in this?” He left the question hanging in the air.
The ex-Secretary General of the PS considers that there is a lack of space for debate and inquiry and that the result of this loss of space is that “people speak but there are no consequences and that generates a Shruga complaint, a protest, but without consequence“, questioning whether the issue of ethics and honesty is a criterion that is taken into account when voting.
