Tiago Melo Alves, José Gomes Ferreira, SIC's deputy director of information and Sebastião Bugalho, SIC commentator, analysed the searches in Madeira and Operation Marquês on SIC Notícias' Evening Edition.
Tiago Melo Alves explains that by requesting a waiver of immunity, either by himself or through Parliament, Miguel Albuquerque can "be heard immediately". He also explains that there are "two dimensions" that need to be taken into account: that of the Council of State and that related to the Regional Government of Madeira and the government's political and administrative status.
