The Prime Minister Luís Montenegro continues to publicly defend the Minister of Internal Administration, Luís Neves, stating that he has demonstrated aptitude for solving problems and has given an extraordinarily positive boost to the functioning of control.
However, there are elements within the PSD who are uncomfortable and perplexed by the cases involving the minister. The internal tension in the party contrasts with the public support of the PSD leader for the government member.
Despite five ongoing legal proceedings related to Luís Neves, and the accumulation of doubts and constant pressure for his resignation, the minister remains at the helm of the Internal Administration portfolio.
The situation creates a visible divorce between the explicit support of the PSD leadership and the dissatisfaction felt by party members, who do not share the same conviction about the minister's continuity in the executive.
