"I hope the President of the Assembly of the Republic is not a blockade to transparency": Ventura insists on CPI for Luís Neves

CNN Portugal3 September 2026 at 16:52

André Ventura, the leader of the CHEGA party, responded to the statements by José Pedro Aguiar-Branco, President of the Assembly of the Republic, who admitted the possibility of rejecting the request for the creation of a Parliamentary Inquiry Committee. Aguiar-Branco stated that there were "identified shortcomings" in the "object and respective grounds" of the request submitted.

Ventura publicly expressed his hope that the President of the Assembly of the Republic "is not a blockade to transparency", insisting on the need to proceed with the CPI regarding Luís Neves. The CHEGA leader has been pressing for an inquiry committee to be created to investigate matters related to Luís Neves.

The request for a Parliamentary Inquiry Committee aims to clarify circumstances involving Luís Neves, although the specific details about the subject of the investigation are not mentioned in the article. Aguiar-Branco's position of potentially rejecting the request is based on formal issues regarding its justification.

The exchange of positions between Ventura and Aguiar-Branco arises in a context of political tension, with the CHEGA party defending greater transparency and scrutiny through the instrument of the inquiry committee, while the table of the Assembly raises procedural objections to the request submitted.
