Luís Neves says he is calm in the face of Chega's motion of censure threat and promises to clarify everything on Tuesday

SIC Notícias31 August 2026 at 15:49

Luís Neves expressed calm in the face of the motion of censure threat presented by Chega, led by André Ventura. The politician guaranteed that he would provide all necessary clarifications on Tuesday.

The pressure on Luís Neves intensified after André Ventura threatened to move forward with a motion of censure against the Government. The condition imposed by the Chega leader was for the prime minister to resolve the situation of the interior minister.

The case directly involves the interior minister, whose situation motivated Chega's political action. The far-right party decided to use the motion of censure as an instrument to pressure the executive to make a decision about this Government member.

Iran: Trump promises to respond "with force" to Iranian attacks in the Middle East

US President Donald Trump promised on Monday a military response "with force" to missile attacks launched by Iran against US targets in the Middle East. According to Trump, almost all missiles were intercepted, so they do not pose a significant threat. Washington carried out the first attack against Iranian targets in about a month, hitting Larak Island in the strategic Strait of Hormuz, to which Iran responded with actions against American bases in Jordan and the United Arab Emirates. Trump intensified his rhetoric against Tehran, classifying it as a "failed nation" plunged into "total chaos," and shared on social media an AI-generated video showing the destruction of Kharg Island. The conflict between Washington and Tehran began on February 28, and diplomatic efforts remain at an impasse.

Vladimir Safatle in interview: "Flavio Bolsonaro's victory is the end of Brazil as a national project"

In an interview with Expresso, Brazilian philosopher Vladimir Safatle states that Flavio Bolsonaro's victory represents "the end of Brazil as a national project" and argues that there is a sector of the Brazilian population that has made a long-term choice for the far-right. Raised between the political persecution of his father during the military dictatorship and Pinochet's coup in Chile, Safatle describes the far-right as a "conservative revolutionary force" and considers Brazil "the big problem for the USA today", while attacking the left for going through a deep "crisis of political imagination".
