Guinea-Bissau. Front Única Platform Calls for Boycott of "Pseudo-Referendum"

RTP Notícias28 August 2026 at 16:50

The Guinean platform Front Única, which includes the PAI Terra-Ranka coalition, called on the population to boycott the referendum scheduled for Sunday. The group classified the popular consultation as a farce and a pseudo-referendum.

Front Única considers the vote to be illegitimate and is mobilizing citizens not to participate in the process. The political group is part of the opposition to the government.

The referendum in question is scheduled for Sunday in Guinea-Bissau. Front Única did not specify in its appeal which questions are being put to the vote, but repudiated the process as a whole.

Chega threatens with motion of censure to the Government and tests PS and Carneiro

Chega announced this Friday, August 28, in Lisbon, that it will present a motion of censure to the Government next Tuesday, September 1, if the prime minister does not dismiss Luís Neves from the position of Minister of Internal Administration. The party of André Ventura considers that Neves' permanence in the executive removes credibility from the State apparatus. However, the initiative is expected to be rejected, as the PS has ruled out any alignment with Chega's strategy, the Liberal Initiative defended governmental stability, and the PCP, although it criticizes the executive, has not made prior commitments to the motion.
