The PS secretary-general, José Luís Carneiro, warned today that the case surrounding the Interior Minister, Luís Neves, is "degrading the political authority of the State." According to the socialist leader, the longer the case drags on, the worse the consequences for institutional credibility will be.
Carneiro also stated that the Prime Minister, Luís Montenegro, should not give "reasons" that enable the so-called "pyrotechnic effects" of Chega. This reference suggests that the PS leader fears that the far-right party could politically exploit the minister's situation.
The case involves the Interior Minister, Luís Neves, who is at the center of a controversy, although the specific details are not mentioned in the article. The situation is placing pressure on the executive led by Montenegro.
