Aguiar-Branco will reject inquiry commission about Luís Neves if Chega does not modify request

Correio da Manhã4 September 2026 at 10:47

The President of the Assembly of the Republic, Agostinho Aguiar-Branco, announced that he will reject the parliamentary inquiry commission requested by Chega about Luís Neves, unless the party modifies the submitted request.

Aguiar-Branco identified insufficiencies in the delimitation of the object and in the grounds of the parliamentary inquiry requested by Chega, considering that the document does not meet the necessary requirements to proceed.

The decision of the president of the parliament comes following a detailed analysis of the request submitted by the far-right party, which intended to create an inquiry commission to investigate issues related to Luís Neves.

If Chega does not make the changes required by the president of the assembly, the process of creating the inquiry commission will be blocked, preventing its constitution in the Portuguese parliament.

Santana Lopes criticizes requirements in Lagoa da Vela tourism project

The mayor of the Municipality of Figueira da Foz, Pedro Santana Lopes, considered the demands of public bodies in the Lagoa da Vela tourism project process, which has been dragging on for almost 30 years, inadmissible. The mayor criticized above all the CCDR Centro and APA, which require new studies and an Environmental Impact Assessment in parallel with the Detail Plan, when there was already a favorable environmental impact declaration from 2008. Santana Lopes compared the situation to the 1999 blockage by José Sócrates and warned that the demands represent a delaying maneuver. The municipality approved the deadline extension, with the president voting against, and according to councilor João Martins, the new framework should delay the work for at least 2028. The project includes villas, tourist developments and a golf course on a 100-hectare plot acquired in 1998.
