Ventura gathers Chega bodies to take "final decision" on motion of censure

SIC Notícias31 August 2026 at 17:50

The leader of the Chega party, André Ventura, gathered the party's bodies to take a "final decision" on a motion of censure against the Government. The meeting aimed primarily to debate the next steps regarding this political issue.

André Ventura had previously admitted he would proceed with a motion of censure if the prime minister did not resolve the situation of the minister of Internal Administration. This condition was presented as an ultimatum by the Cheza leader.

The party was meeting to analyze the executive's response to the demand made by Ventura, assessing whether the measures taken by the prime minister were sufficient or whether they justified the filing of the motion of censure.

The Lula government reserved R$ 44.8 billion for parliamentary amendments in the 2027 Annual Budget Bill (PLOA), an increase of R$ 4 billion compared to the proposal for 2026. The amount is expected to be higher after Congressional approval, since in 2026, R$ 40.8 billion was reserved, but the approved amount reached R$ 50 billion. Mandatory amendments are those the government is obligated to pay, while non-mandatory ones depend on available space in the Budget. There are three types of amendments: individual, from state delegations, and from committees, each with its own rules for distribution and application.
