Situation of 'unsustainability': Chega advances with motion of censure against the Government

SAPO Notícias2 September 2026 at 17:02

The leader of Chega, André Ventura, announced at a press conference that the party will proceed with a motion of censure against the Government. This decision comes after criticism of the performance of the Minister of Internal Administration, Luís Neves.

Ventura considered that the situation of Luís Neves is 'unsustainable', without specifying the exact reasons that led to this assessment. The far-right party thus justifies the presentation of the motion of censure.

If the motion of censure is rejected in parliament, Chega has already announced that it will proceed with a Committee of Inquiry into the Minister of Internal Administration. This strategy aims to maintain political pressure on the Government.

Ventura's announcement marks a new phase of opposition from Chega to the executive, using parliamentary instruments to question the performance of the Ministry of Internal Administration.
