Nikolas Ferreira admits asking Vorcaro for help but says he didn't receive "a single penny" from the banker

Deputy Nikolas Ferreira admitted having asked banker José Augusto Vorcaro for help, but stated he did not receive "a single penny" from him. According to ICL Notícias, messages obtained by the investigation show that Ferreira asked the banker for help to unlock assets of his lawyer.

The parliamentarian also reportedly apologized for a publication that questioned the presence of authorities at an event sponsored by Master, a brand linked to Vorcaro. The case involves investigations into alleged irregularities in the release of assets blocked by court orders.

The messages analyzed by ICL Notícias reveal the relationship between the deputy and the banker, who is at the center of an investigation into alleged fraud in the release of assets. Ferreira denies having received any amount from Vorcaro.

Liberal Initiative votes against Chega's motion of censure. "Serious case, but limited to one minister"

The Liberal Initiative (LI) announced it will vote against the motion of censure against the Government presented by Chega, considering that André Ventura's party intends to "transform a serious case but limited to one minister into an instrument of chaos to create a new political crisis in the country". In an interview with CNN Portugal, party leader Mariana Leitão argued that the seriousness of the case involving Minister Luís Neves does not justify a motion of censure, but rather the resignation of the minister himself by the prime minister, who, according to the liberal leader, "must answer for the irresponsibility of keeping Luís Neves in office". The LI guaranteed it will continue to demand answers about the case, but refused to participate in what it considered to be Chega's maneuvers to exploit political instability for its partisan benefit.
