The leader of the Chega party, André Ventura, made a controversial statement about Luís Neves, stating that if he "meows and walks like a cat, it's a cat", in an interview that journalist Carlos Carvalhosa considered the dominant phrase of that interview.
Carlos Carvalhosa, journalist from the NOW channel, highlighted the doubts raised by André Ventura regarding Luís Neves, who apparently was appointed to a ministerial position.
Ventura also expressed regret for not having heeded the prior warnings from Pedro Passos Coelho about the appointment of the minister, suggesting that he would have acted differently if he had followed that advice.
The episode arises in the context of political tensions related to ministerial appointments, with Ventura publicly criticizing the choice of Luís Neves for the position.
