Carneiro says Montenegro should not give "reasons" to Chega

Observador1 September 2026 at 21:37

José Luís Carneiro, who is in Maputo, considered that Prime Minister Luís Montenegro should not give "reasons" to Chega regarding the Ministry of Internal Administration (MAI) case. The warning arises in the context of a political dispute related to the investigation involving the Ministry.

Carneiro warned that the prolongation of this case "degrades the political authority of the State". This position reinforces the concern about the institutional consequences of the continuation of this controversy.

The Minister of Internal Administration also left the responsibility in the hands of the Prime Minister, suggesting that the resolution of the situation should be handled at the highest level of the executive.

Carneiro's position was conveyed during his visit to Maputo, Mozambique, where official commitments are taking place within the framework of bilateral relations between the two countries.

Lula will seek distance from Moraes, while other presidential candidates criticize Supreme Court minister

President Lula will try to distance himself from Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the STF, after revelations about alleged instructions that the magistrate would have given to former banker Daniel Vorcaro, of Banco Master, during the financial crisis of the institution. According to allies, Lula will avoid speaking publicly about the subject so as not to generate political wear while seeking his fourth term, and should adopt the discourse that the STF is an independent power. In a different posture, presidential candidates Flávio Bolsonaro, Romeu Zema and Augusto Cury publicly criticized Moraes after a Federal Police report showed alleged exchanges of messages between the banker and the minister during a period of 13 days at the peak of the Banco Master crisis.

"Despite rarely having seen such an aggressive campaign against a minister, I think the tone [of Luís Neves] and the place were wrong"

The episode of "Antes Pelo Contrário" with Daniel Oliveira and Francisco Mendes da Silva analyzed three main themes of current Portuguese politics: the threat of a motion of no confidence by the Chega party against the Government, the case of Minister Luís Neves, which generated an intense campaign against him, and the Constitutional Court's decision to give the green light to the return law. Regarding Luís Neves, the analysts considered that, although such aggressive campaigns against a minister are rare, the tone and the chosen context were inappropriate.

Senate approves Pacheco for TCU seat after legislator was passed over by Lula for a STF seat

The Senate approved on Tuesday the name of Rodrigo Pacheco (PSB-MG) for a seat on the Court of Accounts of the Union (TCU), in a maneuver led by the president of the House, Davi Alcolumbre. Pacheco will occupy the seat left by Minister Bruno Dantas, who formalized his early departure. The indication was formalized on Monday night to advance in the last week of voting before the elections. The Senate heard only the rapporteur's opinion, without a hearing, and the secret vote recorded 63 favorable votes and 4 against, above the 41 necessary. The indication still needs to be endorsed by the Chamber of Deputies. The choice of Pacheco was considered certain since he was passed over by Lula for a seat on the Supreme Federal Court.
