Political accountability


A former Iceland Prime-Minister is facing Court today for negligence in the process that led to his country bankruptcy. A group of Members of the Parliament formalised the charge after the Parliament considered him as having significant responsibilities in the process. Thus, a special Court that is in place under the Constitution, to try former Government members, is now trying him. My friends, that is political accountability - can anyone imagine if something like this existed and worked in Portugal?
