"I start putting on the table that Luís Montenegro may actually want elections"

CNN Portugal2 September 2026 at 23:04

António Costa, CNN Portugal commentator, analyzes the motion of censure against the Government that was announced by Chega. Costa considers that this motion may represent a strategy by the party to force the scheduling of early elections.

The commentator states that Luís Montenegro may actually want elections, putting this possibility on the table. The motion of censure arises in a context of political tension and possible disagreements between the parties that support the Executive.

The controversies surrounding Luís Neves, a figure close to the prime minister, are also addressed in this analysis. Costa explores the possible implications of these controversies for the stability of the Government and for the Portuguese political landscape.
