The President of the Republic is said to have presented an ultimatum to the Government, which is described as "a good service rendered to democracy." This intervention comes in the context of a political crisis affecting the executive.

The Chega party announced that it will present a motion of censure against the Government, which is characterized as a "cry of despair" by the political formation.

Pedro Costa analyzes the new developments of this governmental crisis, referring to the promise of a motion of censure by Chega and the existence of a date set by the President of the Republic, António José Seguro, for the resolution of the case.
