When I decide

For days the question was always the same: when will the minister explain the scandals? So was the answer: 'when I decide'. While nobody decided anything, someone was left alone with the evidence. Not every row and column has to be occupied.

Suspects

• Adelino, the press adviser: He prepares the answers before the questions. Sometimes before the facts.
• Bernardete, the chief of staff: She runs the minister's diary to the minute, including the minute he's going to decide.
• Cândido, the accredited journalist: He's been asking the same question for two weeks. He knows the answer by heart.
• Delmira, the personal secretary: She answers the phone and always says the minister is 'in a meeting'. This time he really was.
