In recent weeks, the Public Ministry has been under violent attack from the most varied political forces, partisans and intellectuals, because of its alleged responsibility in the disclosure of a wiretap between João Galamba and Antonio Costa in which the former prime minister promoted the dismissal of the previous president of TAP for political reasons.
But critics of the Public Ministry contest not only the disclosure, but also the very maintenance of telephone tapping within the scope of the Influencer process because they understand that they have nothing to do with the objective of that investigation §tion.
Why is Operation Influencer causing so much nervousness among Portuguese politicians? Why did the Minister of Justice herself come to say publicly in an interview with the Observer that it is necessary to put the Public Ministry in order?
