If Luís Neves doesn't leave, Chega will proceed with motion of censure. Montenegro has until the end of the month

ZAP Notícias28 August 2026 at 18:20

The president of Chega, André Ventura, admitted this Friday that the party will proceed with a motion of censure against the Government if the prime minister, Luís Montenegro, does not resolve the situation of the minister of Internal Administration, Luís Neves. Ventura considered that the case has reached a "grotesque" and "unacceptable" level.

Ventura thus joined the appeal already made by the President of the Republic, who had also urged the resolution of the situation. The leader of Chega also stated that "nobody takes the minister of Internal Administration seriously," reinforcing the party's position.

The deadline given by Ventura to the prime minister is until the end of the month. If the situation is not resolved, Chega will present the motion of censure on Tuesday, September 1st.

Livre respects Constitutional Court decision, but maintains criticism of asylum law

The Livre party announced that it respects the decision of the Constitutional Court that considered constitutional the norms of the diploma on granting asylum and return of foreigners, but reiterated its criticisms of the law. Deputy Paulo Muacho stated that the fact that the CC did not declare the law unconstitutional does not mean it is a good law, highlighting concerns about the possibility of detention and expulsion of migrant children. The party also believes there is room for political veto by the President of the Republic. The CC decision came after Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa requested preventive review of the decree approved by the Assembly of the Republic in July, which includes the extension of the temporary installation period to 180 days, possibility of separation of parents and children, and expulsion of minors.
