Aguiar-Branco warns Chega: inquiry committee into Luís Neves will be rejected if request is not amended

CNN Portugal3 September 2026 at 11:33

The president of the Assembly of the Republic, Aguiar-Branco, issued a warning to the Chega party regarding an inquiry committee aimed at Luís Neves. According to available information, Aguiar-Branco threatened to reject the request if it is not amended.

The president of the Assembly of the Republic believes that the document should identify episodes, circumstances, and decisions made during Luís Neves's term. This information would serve to demonstrate any possible interference or conditioning of a political or partisan nature in his actions.

The process arises in the context of a broader political dispute, where Aguiar-Branco demands changes to the original text of the request submitted by Chega before considering its viability. The position of the president of the Assembly of the Republic indicates that he will not accept the request in its current form.
