Portugal
The opposition in Portugal has raised concerns about the political independence of Bank of Portugal Governor Mario Centeno. This comes after the resigned Socialist prime minister suggested Centeno as his potential replacement, leading to questions about Centeno's ability to remain impartial in his role.
Antonio Costa, the prime minister who recently stepped down, has faced criticism for potentially influencing the selection process for the new governor. The opposition parties are calling for transparency and accountability in the decision-making process to ensure that the central bank remains free from political interference.
