No emails allowed
A former secretary-general says the minister banned sending emails. No emails means no trail, only paper. And paper, as everyone knows, gets lost very easily. Almost nothing is said directly: you'll have to cross everything.
Suspects
- Aurora, the IT technician: She switched off the ministry's email on orders from above. The order wasn't in writing, because emails were no longer allowed.
- Baltasar, the lawyer: He thinks the email ban is illegal. He sent his opinion by recorded delivery.
- Clotilde, the head of department: She prints everything in triplicate since emails ended. She calls it transparency.
- Dalila, the former secretary-general's secretary: She lost her boss and her email in the same month. Now she has a lot of free time and a long memory.
- Emanuel, the courier: Since emails were banned, every piece of paper in the ministry goes through his hands.
- Filipa, the press officer: She's written the press releases by hand since the ban. She has lovely handwriting and little patience.
- Germano, the ministry driver: He takes papers from one office to another. He's read more than he should.
- Hortênsia, the head of the archive: She files everything that arrives on paper. That day too much paper arrived.
