Chega maintains inquiry commission into Luís Neves's mandates at PJ despite motion of censure

RTP Notícias2 September 2026 at 18:40

Chega will maintain the inquiry commission into Luís Neves's mandates leading the Judicial Police, even after presenting a motion of censure to the Government. The party leader announced this decision today, ensuring that the two political initiatives are independent from each other.

The motion of censure presented by Chega to the Government does not interfere with the party's intention to continue investigating Luís Neves's performance as director of the PJ. The party considers that the inquiry commission is a legitimate tool of oversight that should continue its work.

Luís Neves was director of the Judicial Police for several mandates and has been under scrutiny by Chega. The party understands that there are questions to be clarified regarding his management at the head of the institution.

This decision demonstrates Chega's strategy of maintaining multiple political fronts simultaneously, combining broader opposition actions, such as the motion of censure, with more specific oversight initiatives, such as the inquiry commission into Luís Neves's mandates.
