Chega will present motion of censure if Luís Neves remains as minister

CNN Portugal28 August 2026 at 16:30

The Chega party announced it will present a motion of censure to the Government if Luís Neves remains as minister. The decision comes in a context of political tension and is part of the radical right party's strategy to pressure the executive.

Luís Neves, who holds the ministerial position, is the direct target of this motion of censure presented by Chega. The party led by André Ventura considers the maintenance of Luís Neves in the Government unacceptable and justifies this political force measure.

This motion represents a new episode of confrontation between Chega and the executive, reinforcing the party's position as an active opposition to the Government. The threat of censure may create additional difficulties for the executive in passing measures in parliament.
