Summary:

  • José Sócrates accuses the Supreme Court of mishandling serious legal matters

  • Calls for the Prosecutor General of the Republic to be removed from the process

  • Alleges Supreme Court is protecting Amadeu Guerra

  • Debate intensifies over judicial independence and transparency in Portugal

Former Prime Minister José Sócrates has launched a scathing attack on the Supreme Court, accusing it of 'playing with very serious matters' and suggesting that the Prosecutor General of the Republic (PGR) should be removed from the process. Sócrates alleges that the Supreme Court is protecting Amadeu Guerra, a figure linked to the ongoing legal proceedings.

This bold statement comes amid a heated debate over the integrity of Portugal's judicial system. Sócrates, no stranger to legal battles himself, has been vocal about his dissatisfaction with the handling of cases that he believes are politically motivated.

The controversy raises questions about the independence and transparency of Portugal's judiciary, with critics and supporters alike weighing in on the implications of such high-profile accusations.

As the story develops, the public awaits further clarification from the Supreme Court and the PGR's office regarding these serious allegations.
