Ex-Prosecutor Urges Transparency in Unveiling the 'Mega Operation' to the Public
José Cunha Rodrigues, the former Attorney General of the Republic, has called for a public, thorough, and urgent explanation regarding the deployment of hundreds of Judiciary Police inspectors and journalists to Madeira. Rodrigues is concerned about the lack of justification for such a ‘mega operation’, which involves searches and massive media deployment from the mainland. He emphasizes the importance of procedural transparency and insists on the need for a clear explanation for the deployment.
Follow The Principles of a Democracy & The Rule of Law
Rodrigues states that his motivation for speaking out is to defend democracy and the rule of law. His call for transparency reflects the growing concerns about the nature and scale of the operation in Madeira, as well as its potential implications for democratic principles. Adding to the discourse, José Souto Moura, another former Attorney General of the Republic (2000-2006), expresses surprise at the 'mega operation' in Madeira. Moura regrets the apparent violation of judicial secrecy, highlighting that the presence of journalists implies such a breach. This raises questions about the adherence to legal procedures and the potential compromise of sensitive information.
Transparency is Key, Citizens Need to be Informed
In conclusion, the deployment of Judiciary Police inspectors to Madeira has sparked criticism from prominent figures in the legal community. The lack of clear justification, concerns about procedural transparency, and potential breaches of judicial secrecy have led to calls for a public explanation. The statements from former Attorney Generals Cunha Rodrigues and José Souto Moura underscore the significance of upholding democratic values and the rule of law in the face of such operations.
