PS calls for assessment of the assembly security, while the former PSD deputy Duarte Pacheco recalls episodes that prove the lack of control in São Bento.
The far-right group Lusitano (evil) movement had plans for invade the Assembly of the Republic, In Lisbon, according to this Wednesday.
In an interview with, former social democratic deputy Duarte Pacheco comments that it would not be that difficult to do so. “Virtually anyone can come in and do whatever they want. He arrives at the reception, says he will talk to Deputy X, has permission, passes, but then no one accompanies him. Pass the corridors freely. If you want to enter the plenary room, enter. ”
The former deputy, who recalls that his computer was stolen inside the assembly, admits that “there is a security failure” in Parliament. “In the parking lot, what is controlled is the enrollment of the car. Not who goes inside. My wife came to have me several times for lunch. And I got in with the car there and no one had her stop. They didn’t even see it was a woman instead of a man. ”
PS WANTS SECURITY EVALUATION
“It will make sense” to make an assessment of the security of the Assembly of the Republic, admits the management of the PS to, both with regard to deputy and with regard to employees.
