Lusa without direction: union demands explanations

The Sindicato dos Jornalistas criticized Lusa for lacking a Director of Information, expressing concern over leadership void. Pedro Sousa Carvalho has been named interim director, but the union demands public explanations from the administration. The situation arose after the previous interim directors' term ended without a timely appointment. The Conselho de Redação accused the administration of mismanagement and instability, emphasizing the need for continuity in editorial leadership. The Entidade Reguladora da Comunicação Social is reviewing the administration's request for an interim director, while Lusa awaits a response from the Ministry of Presidency.
