According to Adão de Almeida, although there is consensus on the importance of oversight, challenges remain in forming a uniform collective will on how it should be exercised within the constitutional and legal framework.
“The key is to build a collective and uniform reasoning around the oversight mission, so that it is exercised appropriately, in accordance with the Constitution and the law. This is a significant challenge that we must take on,” he said.
On that occasion, he called for the continued efforts and knowledge to allow the coexistence of different political forces and the strengthening of the democratic maturation process.
