Briefings
The Liberal Initiative (IL) demands access to documents supporting the selection of Nicolau Santos and Hugo Figueiredo as RTP administrators, citing a 2026 IGF audit report that identified 12.25 million euros in unapproved subsidies. The IL argues the public must scrutinize the selection process, which occurred while the IGF audit was still ongoing, and request the full selection criteria, candidate evaluations, and council meeting minutes. The IL has asked for a written response within 30 days.
Key points
- The Liberal Initiative (IL) is requesting access to internal documents that supported the selection of Nicolau Santos and Hugo Figueiredo as administrators of RTP.
- The request cites a 2026 IGF audit report (IGF n.º 79/2026) identifying 12.25 million euros in unapproved subsidies for the period 2018-2024.
Context
The Liberal Initiative (IL) is seeking transparency regarding the selection of RTP administrators, specifically Nicolau Santos and Hugo Figueiredo. The request is based on a 2026 IGF audit report (IGF n.º 79/2026) that identified significant financial irregularities, including 12.25 million euros in unapproved subsidies. The IL argues that the public has a duty to understand how the decision was reached, especially given the timing of the selection relative to the audit findings.
Limitations
The evidence covers the Liberal Initiative's request for documents and the IGF audit report findings. It does not provide details on the specific selection criteria used, the final decision outcome, or the political consequences of the selection. The timeline shows the selection occurred after the IGF audit was still ongoing, creating a potential conflict of interest regarding the audit's findings.
