After being
called "incompetent" and promoting a "work style of chronyism,
domineering and rudeness", Culture Minister Joao Soares reckoned
it was time to slap two columnists at an influential newspaper.
"I see that I do have to find him (columnist Augusto Seabra),
and now also Vasco Pulido Valente, to give them some sound
slapping. It will be good for them. And for me," Soares wrote in
a Facebook post on Thursday.
Sergio Azevedo, deputy bench leader for the main opposition
Social Democrats, said Soares' remarks were incompatible with
the government job. "There's only one way for him. Out," he
wrote on the same social network.
The original post garnered over 800 mostly critical comments
with many calling for his resignation.
The ministry would not comment and Soares, son of former prime
minister and presi4dent Mario Soares, was not reachable.
