Chega convenes party bodies today and Tuesday for "final decision" on motion of censure

RTP Notícias31 August 2026 at 18:10

Chega's leader will meet the party's national leadership and parliamentary bench on Monday and Tuesday to take a "final decision" on presenting a motion of censure against the Government.

In addition to the internal meetings, the Chega leader also requested "a conversation" with the President of the Republic, at a time of political tension involving the party.

These meetings are taking place in a context of internal deliberation on the party's strategy regarding the Executive, with the motion of censure representing one of the constitutional tools available to the opposition to express its disagreement with the Government's actions.

Budget proposal approved by CNJ for 2027 maintains 8% raise for Judiciary employees

The Plenary of the National Justice Council (CNJ) unanimously approved the agency's budget proposal for 2027 during the 11th Ordinary Session of 2026, maintaining the 8% salary increase for Judiciary employees, as provided for in Law 15.293/2025. The increase applies to permanent and commissioned positions, including assistants, technicians, and judicial analysts, as well as positions CJ-1 through CJ-4. The maintenance of the increase draws attention due to the previous presidential veto, as President Lula had blocked 8% increases for 2027 and 2028, arguing that implementation would occur after the end of his term, which would be prohibited by law.
