SIC Notícias2 September 2026 at 12:06

The president of Chega, André Ventura, should announce this afternoon his decision on a motion of censure against the Government. On Tuesday night, Ventura publicly stated that he was inclined to go ahead with the motion of censure.

The decision comes after statements described as "unutterable" by André Ventura, made by Luís Neves. The statements are reportedly related to controversial cases involving the Ministry of Internal Administration (MAI).

Luís Neves, a figure linked to the MAI, is said to have made assertions that provoked a strong reaction from the Chega leader, leading him to consider presenting a motion of censure against the Government.

The expectation now focuses on the announcement that André Ventura will make this afternoon, where he is expected to confirm whether he will go ahead with the censorship process against the Government or back down from the stated intention.

Chega will present motion of no confidence "because it knows it will not be viable"

CNN Portugal commentator Anselmo Crespo believes that Chega will present a motion of no confidence to the government, but will do so knowing that the proposal will not be viable, that is, it will not be approved. This analysis suggests that the party's intention is not really to bring down the executive, but rather to use the motion as a political instrument to gain visibility and position itself among the electorate.
