Aguiar-Branco, president of the Assembly of the Republic, convened a conference of parliamentary leaders to decide the date of the motion of censure presented by Chega. The announcement came after he was informed via message by the leader of the Chega party about the presentation of the motion.
The president of the Assembly of the Republic also stated that he will send a dispatch to all parliamentary groups regarding this matter. The motion of censure is a parliamentary instrument that can lead to the fall of the government, depending on the voting result in the assembly.
The decision on when the motion will be discussed and voted on will now depend on the deliberation made at the conference of party leaders, which brings together the representatives of all the benches with seats in the Portuguese parliament.
