Prime Minister Luís Montenegro considered today that the motion of censure presented by Chega against the Government fits a logic of "mere political game" and makes no sense. Montenegro criticized the initiative of the far-right party, considering it a calculated action for electoral purposes and not a constructive proposal.
Chega, led by André Ventura, submitted the motion of censure as part of its opposition strategy to the Executive. This action falls within the context of a particularly tense legislative year, with the party seeking to capitalize politically among its electorate.
Montenegro argued that the timing chosen for the presentation of the motion is not appropriate and that the party should be focused on contributing to concrete solutions for the country's problems. The Prime Minister emphasized that the country needs political stability to face current economic and social challenges.
Chega's motion of censure comes at a time when the minority Government of PSD/CDS-PP faces pressure from various political forces. The Executive relies on Chega's parliamentary support in certain votes, which makes the presentation of this motion even more surprising to Montenegro, who questions the consistency of the party's position.
