The Socialist Party (PS) yet believed, for two weeks, which Luís Montenegro would give more explanations about Spinumviva. Since the socialists were not satisfied, they advanced to the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry.
“From a certain time, only a parliamentary commission of inquiry gave us the necessary instruments. From some point, we needed more than the mere answer to oral or written questions, we needed documentary proof, we needed to be able to inquire witnesses, ”explained the PS secretary general.
Pedro Nuno explained in that private and professional life “intersects with political activity Prime Minister and it was essential to perceive the nature of the company and the influence of the prime minister in that company and the potential for conflicts of interest. ”
