Parliament debates censure motion urgently, even being "mere political game"

SAPO Notícias3 September 2026 at 21:11

The Portuguese Parliament will urgently debate a censure motion advanced by the Chega party against the Government. The initiative was scheduled by the Conference of Leaders for Tuesday.

The debate is described as a "mere political game," suggesting that the motion is not expected to succeed in its approval.

With the scheduling of this debate, the hearing of Luís Neves, which was initially planned for September 8, will not take place on that date.
