Prime Minister Luís Montenegro is trying to contain the damage caused by successive controversies involving the Minister of Internal Administration, Luís Neves. The situation has become particularly delicate for the Executive.

PSD officials are increasingly irritated with the alleged "messages" coming from Belém, i.e., from the Presidency of the Republic, regarding Luís Neves. This tension between the Government and the Belém Palace is worsening the political scenario surrounding the minister.

The article title includes the expression "It would be a banana republic," suggesting criticism of how the situation is being managed. The expression indicates concerns about the stability and image of the Government in light of these controversies.
