Lagos Court "seems to be frozen in time"

justiceministerThe Algarve Communist Party MPs, Paulo Sá and António Filipe have sent the Minister of Justice a report on the shortcomings of Lagos Court which they claim is woefully inadequate.

In addition to noting a shortage in staff numbers, the court building and its facilities "seem to be frozen in time" with leaks, rattling old window frames that let the rain in, air conditioning does not work with several rooms without any, inadequate furniture, faulty shutters and problems with the electrical system."

The politicians also have reported to the Minister of Justice, Francisca van Dunem, (pictured), that the videoconference system does not allow testimony to be recorded and that there is a lack of photocopiers for the needs of the court staff.

The MPs want to know what the minister is going to do about it as the court, in its current state of disrepair and its lack of staff, is inadequate for the needs of the justice system.

article says "what the minister is going to do about it as the court, in its current state of disrepair and its lack of staff, is inadequate for the needs of the justice system."
I would have thought that could have been said of the whole legal system in Portugal
