After Chega failed in its attempt at a political comeback, a reflection emerges on the role of the PS in this situation. The article suggests that, although nobody believes José Carneiro is André Ventura, the PS aligning with the PSD is historically plausible, which feeds Chega's strategy through a censure motion.
The PSD does not necessarily come out worse off from this situation. The article argues that Neves has functioned as a lightning rod, absorbing political problems, appearing almost like a minister shared between the two parties, but with the PS paying half the political bill of this association.
Despite the humanism recognized in him, the article considers that Neves is politically dead. The left, specifically the PS, does not have to carry the weight of this situation, as it is not a punishment, but rather a natural consequence of having gone sailing in waters that are not its own.
