Context & Explainers
A parliamentary inquiry (comissão parlamentar de inquérito) is a temporary committee the Assembly of the Republic sets up to investigate serious public incidents or administrative failures, with powers to summon witnesses and request documents. In this case a committee could examine INEM’s practices and response, produce findings and recommend legal or policy changes to improve emergency services.
