36 questions that are no more than "dead characters" (with José Luís Moreira da Silva)

36 questions that are no more than "dead characters" (with José Luís Moreira da Silva)

36 questions that are no more than "dead characters" (with José Luís Moreira da Silva)

"Candidates for governors will have to cross off "yes" or "no" on 36 questions about their professional and tax situation, participation in companies, activities of family members and other issues.
José Moreira da Silva, Partner at SRS Legal, considers that this solution "will only make it more difficult to choose personalities from civil society". Thus, "the Government will be increasingly restricted to
party or Public Administration employees", he told ECO Advocatus.
The lawyer also states that this mechanism is not very different from the document they already have to fill out for the Constitutional Court, "but after the appointment", he explains. "It remains to be seen how this new more formal process is compatible with the urgency in nominating people, whether it has differences between the nomination for minister or for secretary of state and who will be the body that will supervise the enquiry." A question that has "greater acuity at the time of the initial formation of the Government, when there is still only the Prime Minister. And if the supervision is given to an administrative body, there may be problems of information leakage, especially serious if the name is rejected, making clear the existence of second choices".
In conclusion, Moreira da Silva defends that "there is still much to clarify about the process" and doubts that it is "nothing more than a dead letter, just to calm the pressure on the Government that exists today".v
