Vítor Sereno, head of Portugal’s State Information and Security Service (SIRP), has publicly requested a serious discussion regarding access to communications metadata. Sereno stated that any changes to the current law governing this access would require a constitutional review, highlighting the complexity of potential alterations. This call for debate comes amidst ongoing scrutiny of surveillance powers and privacy concerns. Simultaneously, Sereno is advocating for a revision of the law concerning regional finances. He believes adjustments are needed to address current economic and administrative challenges faced by Portugal’s regions. The requests signal a potential push for legislative updates in key areas of national security and fiscal management. No specific details regarding proposed changes were offered, but Sereno emphasized the need for thorough consideration.
