The dismissal order of Frederico Pinheiro, former assistant to the Minister of Infrastructure, João Galamba, was published this Wednesday in Diário da República (DR).
Thirteen days after the dispatch is sent, Frederico Pinheiro’s resignation is formalized.
The decision was based on the adoption of behaviors incompatible with the duties and responsibilities inherent to the exercise of functions as an assistant to a ministerial cabinet.
According to this order, the dismissal takes effect on April 26, the day on which the former deputy was dismissed by telephone.

It should be remembered that the case involved complaints against Frederico Pinheiro for physical violence at the Ministry of Infrastructure and the theft of a laptop, after he was fired, and the controversy increased when the intervention of the Information and Security Service (SIS) was reported ) in the recovery of that computer.
On Tuesday night, the Prime Minister, António Costa, refused the resignation of the Minister of Infrastructure – which had been addressed to him half an hour before -, with the President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, issuing the same an official note in the evening in which he expressed his disagreement with the decision of the head of government.
On Thursday, in a communication to the country, the head of state promised that he will be even more attentive and more involved in everyday life to prevent conflict factors that deteriorate institutions and avoid resorting to powers of exceptional exercise.* 100016*
Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa qualified his disagreement with the Prime Minister’s decision to keep João Galamba as Minister of Infrastructure as a fundamental divergence and considered that this decision by António Costa has costs in terms of credibility, reliability, authority of the Minister, the Government and the State.
