Procuradora-Geral da República, Lucília Gago, has declared an 'orchestrated campaign' against the Ministry of Public Prosecution.

Criticism has emerged regarding the timing of her interview, which comes near the end of her term and before her scheduled appearance in Parliament.

While the PSD and PS parties have not commented, other parties are calling for further clarification on the matter.

The relationship between the newspaper PÚBLICO and its readers is underscored as crucial to the country's democratic and civic life.

This situation adds to ongoing concerns about accountability and transparency within the institution.

There are current inquiries into former Prime Minister António Costa's actions in the Influencer Operation.

Critics continue to point to issues within the Chega party, financial problems in the police force, and a general lack of accountability and transparency in the Public Prosecution Service.

The role of the PGR is highlighted as vital in upholding democratic values and societal decency.
