The PCP considers that there are reasons to present a motion of censure against the Government, but refuses to associate itself with Chega's so-called "lying agenda". The communists made this position known through a reaction to the motion of censure presented by André Ventura's party.
Paulo Raimundo, leader of the PCP, harshly criticized the Chega party, accusing André Ventura of being "compromised up to his neck" with the PSD-CDS executive's policies. This accusation comes in the context of the PCP considering that Chega has no legitimacy to present a motion of censure, given its alignment with the policies of the very government it intends to censure.
The PCP's position reveals a strategy of differentiation vis-à-vis the far-right party, seeking to distinguish the legitimate reasons for censuring the executive from what it considers to be demagogic or misleading motivations on the part of Chega.
