André Ventura, leader of Chega, put forward a motion of censure against the Government, at a time when he sought to position himself as a statesman, presenting himself differently from what would be expected from a traditional opposition party.
Chega's strategy aims to demonstrate political responsibility, at a time when the party is trying to broaden its support base beyond the usual right-wing electorate.
Miguel Santos Carrapatoso analyzes the contours of this political movement, considering the impact that this motion of censure may have on the executive's stability and on Chega's positioning in the Portuguese political spectrum.
