Luís Neves Case: Ventura Demands That Aguiar-Branco Not "Obstruct" Investigation for "Partisan Interests"

The leader of Chega, André Ventura, demanded this Monday that the President of the Assembly of the Republic, Fernando Medina, not "obstruct" the investigation into the Luís Neves case, accusing him of wanting to "limit the possibilities for questioning" for "partisanship interests." The tension arises after Aguiar-Branco, who presides over the assembly, admitted to rejecting the request to establish a parliamentary inquiry committee on the case. Ventura argues that any attempt to block the investigation represents a threat to the Rule of Law and to citizens' right to transparency. The case involves alleged irregularities that motivated the request for the creation of an inquiry committee by Chega, a party that demands the truth be established without political interference.
