Lusa's editorial criticizes lack of administrative straightforwardness

Members of the Editorial Board of Lusa criticized the Administration Council for lack of transparency during a parliamentary hearing regarding the former Information Directorate. They highlighted omissions related to contracts and editorial interference, particularly concerning the hiring of a journalist in Brussels. The Board expressed concerns over the potential conflict of interest due to the journalist's connections with an administrator. They also noted that the Administration Council downplayed the situation's impact on the agency's social climate. Furthermore, the Board plans to seek an opinion from the Professional Journalist Card Commission regarding a new travel agreement draft sent by the administration.
