Communiqué
1. The President of the Republic decided today to send back to Parliament Decree No. 133/X, which alters the Journalist’s Charter, requesting that it be reappraised.
2. The President of the Republic believes that, in line with a principle of political clarity, it is advisable that some of the prescriptive solutions contained in that legislation should be reconsidered by Members of Parliament, in order that the Journalist’s Charter comes into force without the subsistence of any doubts in its application, particularly as to such crucial instances as the violation of professional secrecy, the requisites required to exercise the profession and the instituted system of sanctions.
3. The message addressed by the President of the Republic to Parliament will be disclosed in this same official site of the Presidency of the Republic, in www.presidencia.pt.
