There was another meeting, I believe initiated by Mário Lino, on the occasion of the global economic crisis of 2008, in which, under the guidance of the European Union, investments should be accelerated. And the minister, within his competencies, asked us to analyze the possibility of accelerating some investments, namely high-speed, the Beira Baixa Line... This analysis was made and the minister is likely to have asked the prime minister to meet technically with us and with engineer Carlos Fernandes. However, in the session this Thursday of the trial of Operation Marquês, at the Central Criminal Court of Lisbon, the former Secretary of State for Transport Ana Paula Vitorino — who held the position in José Sócrates' first government from 2005 to 2009 — refuted any instruction from the main defendant of the trial. #OperaçãoMarquês #Sócrates #AnaPaulaVitorino (translated)
