President of the Republic also received, this Tuesday, in Belém, the president of the Ibersol group

This Tuesday, the President of the Republic Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa received the executive president of CTT – Correios de Portugal, with whom he discussed “the exercise of public service” under the responsibility of this company “in these times of confinement”.

This information is contained in a note released on the website of the Presidency of the Republic on the Internet after two audiences that Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa granted yesterday afternoon to the presidents of the Ibersol restaurant sector, António Vaz Pinto de Sousa, and of CTT, João Bento , PSI20 companies.

According to the note, the President of the Republic “discussed in particular with João Bento the exercise of public service under the responsibility of CTT in these times of confinement and limited mobility, also with the provision of protective equipment in its stores”.
