Lusa Editorial Board gives negative opinion on the appointment of Diana Ramos as director

The Lusa Editorial Board has issued a negative opinion regarding the appointment of journalist Diana Ramos as Director of Information. Two members opposed her nomination, arguing that the agency needs a new profile with public news experience. The remaining members abstained. The agency's Board of Directors had invited Ramos, previously the director of Jornal de Negócios, to the position. The Editorial Board has also sought an urgent opinion from the Regulatory Authority for Social Communication regarding the legality of the appointment. The Board expressed concerns about the previous Director's dismissal and potential editorial interference in hiring decisions.
