Montenegro says Chega's motion of no confidence is mere political game and makes no sense

SAPO Notícias3 September 2026 at 11:52

Prime Minister Luís Montenegro considered today that the motion of no confidence presented by Chega against the Government fits into a logic of "mere political game," making no sense whatsoever. This position was conveyed by the government official in statements to journalists.

Montenegro warned that the opposition's political responsibility is also under evaluation, in a reference to the stance of the party led by André Ventura. The Prime Minister was making these statements before attending the inauguration ceremony of a new executive member or representative, whose name was cut off in the article.

Chega's motion of no confidence arises in a context of political tension between the far-right party and Montenegro's Executive, which governs with a relative majority in parliament. The article does not specify what concrete reasons Chega invoked for presenting the motion.
