PS's Secretary-General guaranteed today that it will not be because of his party that there will a "political crisis" in Portugal. This statement comes in response to the political tensions that have been occurring in the country.
However, the socialist leader insisted that the prime minister "has to take" the "responsibility" in the numerous controversy surrounding Minister Luís Neves. This position marks a clear demand for accountability on the part of the head of government.
The controversy involving Luís Neves has been generating political pressure on the executive, placing the prime minister in a delicate position. PS, through its Secretary-General, intends to dissociate itself from any scenario of institutional instability.
The situation highlights the internal divisions within the parliamentary majority, even when PS tries to project an image of stability. The demand for responsibility from the prime minister represents a moment of tension between the coalition government partners.
