The president of parliament, Aguiar-Branco, convened a leaders' conference for Thursday to decide the date of the motion of censure presented by Chega. The meeting will serve to define when the document will be discussed and voted on in the Assembly of the Republic.
Aguiar-Branco declined to comment on the appropriateness or merit of the motion of censure presented by the Chega party. The president of the Assembly of the Republic considered that this is a mechanism provided for both in the rules of procedure and in the Constitution.
According to the president of parliament, Chega is making normal use of a regimental and constitutional mechanism by presenting this motion of censure. The convening of the leaders' conference is the next step provided for in the process.
