If there was any initiative will be in the positive direction to resolve a situation that may arise. I do not think there has been interference, “said Licinio Pina reporters in 2015 results presentation of the group, in which profits improved 51% to 40.7 million euros.

“we have good memories of the times when governments and prime ministers engaged in societal processes that do not respect the state, respect for private and it was very important that there was a complete clarification of this matter,” said Passos Coelho.

for the former Prime Minister, it is necessary that governments “safeguard their independence and their impartiality of processes that are not under its direct jurisdiction” and therefore expected to have a “complete clarification of this matter.”
