Government accuses Chega of "political choreography"

RTP Notícias4 September 2026 at 20:50

The Portuguese Government accused the Chega party of promoting a "political choreography" regarding the motion of no confidence it submitted in Parliament. The executive's position comes as a response to the far-right party's initiative.

The prime minister revealed that he will only speak about the matter again on Tuesday, thus adopting a stance of distance regarding the motion presented by Chega. This decision not to comment in advance indicates a strategy by the executive to not give greater visibility to the process.

The President of the Republic will follow the discussion and vote on the motion of no confidence during the vacation period. This information reveals that the Head of State intends to be informed about the political developments, even during his break.

The motion of no confidence submitted by Chega represents a moment of political confrontation in Parliament, with the Government minimizing the initiative by classifying it as a maneuver of a more theatrical rather than substantive nature.

Businessmen draft new manifesto to demand code of conduct at the Supreme Court

Brazilian entrepreneurs are organizing to release a new manifesto asking STF President Edson Fachin to adopt a code of conduct for the court's magistrates. The private sector's outrage was motivated by Federal Police revelations about alleged conversations between Minister Alexandre de Moraes and banker Daniel Vorcaro, owner of Master bank, generating distrust in the country's highest court. Businessman Sergio Zimerman, founder of the Petz Cobasi Group, made the harshest statement during the Brazil Business Forum, criticizing the crisis at the STF and warning that the population should take to the streets if investigations do not result in punishments.
