The Constitutional Court (TC) clarified that it rejected the appeal filed by the Prime Minister to prevent the inclusion of Spinumviva clients in his register of interests because it was submitted after the deadline. The newspaper Público reports this Tuesday that the TC itself confirms the appeal was late, a fact previously reported by Expresso on Thursday, adding that the Prime Minister signed it himself. His office stated to the newspaper that he did so in his capacity as the appellant and not as a lawyer, as his professional license is inactive while he serves in Government. The TC's decision is not final as an annulment request has been filed, which the Court confirmed to Lusa on Thursday. The Ratton Palace indicated that the plenary session has already ruled not to hear the appeal, but the decision is not yet final due to a pending nullity claim. The Court further clarified that the case follows the rule regarding the publication of rulings on income, asset, and interest declarations, meaning the decision will only be published on the TC website once it becomes final. The case dates back to last July, when it was reported that the Prime Minister requested to oppose the public disclosure of certain elements of his declarations submitted to the Transparency Entity (EpT). Among the contested items was the client list of Spinumviva, a company founded by Montenegro and currently owned by his children.
