@tldrnews: 🇵🇹 Portuguese politics is going a bit mad at the moment. Ever since it was revealed that a government minister received a half million euro payout to leave the state airline, TAP Air Portugal, Prime Minister Antonio Costa’s government has been plagued by problem after problem. Since that original revelation, connected scandals have come to the fore; including accusations of nepotism in government appointments, coaching a witness before a parliamentary inquiry into the original scandal, the use of the intelligence services for political ends, and a violent tantrum by a minister’s deputy. And well, it seems like things aren’t getting better for Costa and his government anytime soon. Last week, the state broadcaster revealed that the health minister, Manuel Pizzaro, is being investigated by the Portuguese public prosecutor’s office. The calls for Costa to resign as prime minister are growing ever louder, and while President Rebelo de Sousa can dissolve Parliament at any time (known as the ‘nuclear bomb’), for now, he’s playing it cool. #news #politics #portugal #portugalnews #portugal🇵🇹 #europe #europenews #europeannews #euronews #fypシ #reels #explore #explorepage

I wasn’t a government minister that received the 500k. It was an executive (tap director) that was “fired” and then appointed to run a public company

You should add that the President Souza is from the opposition party. Otherwise, it’d seem not logical to dissolve the parliament.
