The PS will submit a bill this Saturday to amend the statutes of Lusa, inspired by the RTP model, which provides for the creation of an Independent General Council (CGI) responsible for choosing the agency's Board of Directors. The initiative had already been announced by the party's parliamentary leader, Eurico Brilhante Dias.
PS wants Lusa administration chosen by Independent General Council
Saturday, 4 April 2026RSS
Context & Explainers
The government is amending the statutes of Lusa, Portugal's national news agency, to make the organization more professional and less influenced by political shifts. It is the primary source for breaking news and official reports, providing content to media outlets across the country. Those following local news should note that Lusa is often the first to report on government announcements and legislative changes.
