Prime Minister Luís Montenegro expressed confidence in the Minister of Internal Administration, Luís Neves, responding to journalists' questions about alleged wear on the Executive due to his presence in the Government. Montenegro stated he is "calm with all members of the Government".
When directly questioned about whether Luís Neves' remaining in office was wearing down the Executive, the prime minister defended the minister, noting that he has "shown aptitude to solve problems".
Montenegro's defense comes at a time when Luís Neves' presence in the Government has been the subject of public scrutiny, although the article does not specify the concrete reasons for this pressure.
The prime minister thus chose to demonstrate unity with his minister, publicly reinforcing confidence in the Executive member responsible for the Internal Administration portfolio.
