The PS leader, Pedro Santos Carneiro, stated that it will not be the Socialist Party that causes a political crisis in Portugal. During his statements, Carneiro emphasized that the PS will contribute to the country's political stability, distancing the party from any responsibility in potential governmental instability.
However, the socialist leader made a point of holding the prime minister responsible for managing the controversy surrounding the minister of Internal Administration. This position emerges amid political tension related to António Costa's oversight of the Ministry of Internal Administration.
Carneiro's statement comes in the context of a dispute between the PS and the executive led by António Costa, where the party seeks to dissociate itself from any scenario of governmental crisis, while transferring responsibility for the current situation to the prime minister. The party maintains its position that it will contribute to stability, but makes clear that the responsibility for managing controversies lies with the government.
