The Portuguese Communist Party (PCP) holds the Government responsible for the controversy involving the Minister of Internal Administration, Luís Neves. The matter has generated controversy and now involves the entire Executive.
The general secretary of the PCP, Paulo Raimundo, considered that the situation has become a matter that concerns the entire Government, and not just the minister individually. The communist leader argues that Luís Neves will have "many" explanations to give about the situation.
According to Paulo Raimundo, the Executive will have to draw political consequences from the process, meaning it should take measures in response to the controversy. The PCP understands that the Government cannot ignore the explanations that are due from the minister.
The PCP's position comes at a time when the motion of censure against the minister is under discussion, demonstrating that the party does not intend to leave the matter without political consequences.
