Lusa's CR rejects the appointment of Diana Ramos

The Lusa Editorial Board issued a negative opinion regarding the appointment of journalist Diana Ramos as Director of Information. The board expressed concerns about the suitability of the appointment given the current challenges faced by Lusa. Two members voted against the nomination, while three abstained. The board has requested an urgent opinion from the Regulatory Authority for the Media to clarify the legality of the appointment process. Diana Ramos, previously the director of Jornal de Negócios, is set to succeed Luísa Meireles, who left the position earlier this month. The board also criticized the manner in which the previous director was dismissed and raised concerns about editorial interference.
