PCP has already decided its vote on Chega's motion, but Raimundo refuses to condition the Avante Festival: "That would be the last thing needed!"

PCP has already decided how it will vote on the no-confidence motion presented by Chega, but communist leader Paulo Raimundo refused to publicly reveal the party's position during the Avante Festival. Raimundo considered this to be a matter that concerned the party and that he did not intend to condition the festival with this decision.

Paulo Raimundo stated that Luís Neves, the figure involved in the case that motivated the no-confidence motion, has "many explanations" to give about the situation. The PCP leader argued that the matter is already the Government's responsibility, thus shifting the focus of the discussion to the executive.

The no-confidence motion was presented by Chega and involves issues related to Luís Neves's conduct, who will have to account for the case that was behind this political initiative. PCP, through Raimundo, chose not to comment in detail on the merits of the motion during the festive event.
