The Government will review the Court of Auditors Law by the summer, aiming above all to end the prior visa, so that it no longer “replaces administration and political action” in its decisions.
“The Court of Auditors today is an institution that performs a function that is not typical of the jurisdictional function. And it is a court that replaces administration and political decision-making. Therefore, this has to be reviewed”, announced this Wednesday, February 25th, the Deputy Minister of State Reform, Gonçalo Matias. The minister was speaking at the 2nd edition of Conversas com Fomento, an initiative by Banco Português do Fomento.
For Gonçalo Matias, the Court of Auditors “is an institution that creates distrust among public administration workers and paralyzes their decisions”.
“Therefore, we have to ensure that those who are elected, those who are appointed to make political decisions, to make administrative decisions, can do their work calmly, being held accountable if they violate the law, but that they can do their work and do not have the sword of a court that evaluates the political and administrative conditions of their decisions”, he highlighted.
“This will stop happening in Portugal, they have my guarantee, until the summer”, he concluded.
