Ventura advances with motion of censure if MAI does not leave by Tuesday

Observador28 August 2026 at 16:51

The leader of the Chega party, André Ventura, announced that he will proceed with a motion of censure against the Government if the Minister of Internal Administration, Luís Neves, does not leave the position by Tuesday. Ventura considered that Luís Neves does not have the conditions to continue in the position and accused him of compromising the institutions.

The leader of Chega stated that Luís Neves is "sending the institutions to the mud", thus demonstrating his strong disagreement with the minister's actions. This position arises in a context of political tension surrounding the Internal Administration portfolio.

Ventura also expressed his conviction that former socialist leader António Seguro also advocates for the minister's removal. This reference suggests that criticism of Luís Neves's performance may not be limited solely to the Chega party.

The threat of a motion of censure by Chega represents an escalation of political conflict, placing additional pressure on the Executive to resolve the situation of the Minister of Internal Administration.
