The Chega party has been a source of continuous disorder and does not demonstrate the capacity to govern, according to this opinion article. The party's recent stance once again exposes its internal contradictions.
The issue involving the Minister of Internal Administration, Luís Neves, required serious and institutional scrutiny in Parliament. However, Chega immediately proceeded with a Motion of Censure, rushing ahead and trampling over the very hearing process where the official would provide clarifications. By making the formal moment of hearing the other side impossible, the party abdicates its role as a responsible overseer.
The author argues that Chega feels comfortable in turbulence but shows little vocation for the stability of executive power. Governance requires discernment, method, and respect for institutions, attributes that are set aside when the tactic of continuous scandal overrides substantive debate. The article also refers to dynamics of populism and episodes of municipal instability that the party has already caused regionally.
A political force that prefers tumult to institutional clarification shows that it is prepared to do opposition and create confusion, but far from offering a solid and credible alternative to govern the country. The article ends by questioning whether the request for a vote of confidence in Montenegro would not resolve the situation.
