Miguel Sousa Tavares: "I have never seen such great persecution as what is happening with Luís Neves". The defense despite the criticism: the MAI's response "has been a disaster"

Miguel Sousa Tavares comments on the latest news surrounding the Ministry of Internal Administration and the Motion of Censure presented by Chega to the Government. The commentator considers he has never seen such a great persecution as what is happening with Luís Neves, referring to what he considers to be a campaign against this executive figure.

Miguel Sousa Tavares also criticizes the way the Ministry of Internal Administration has been responding to the raised questions, describing this response as "a disaster". This position comes in the context of growing political controversy around the MAI.

However, despite this criticism of the MAI, Miguel Sousa Tavares maintains his position that he sees no reasons for the minister's resignation given everything that has come to public. The commentator highlights that, in his analysis, the known facts do not justify the departure of the Government member.

Regarding the Chega leader, André Ventura, Miguel Sousa Tavares classifies him as "obsessed" with this issue, suggesting that the motion of censure presented by the party is a consequence of that political obsession with the theme.
