The 81st General Assembly of the United Nations is taking place with the theme "Restoring trust" as the central focus of the debates. This annual event brings together world leaders to discuss the main global challenges.

The race for the succession of the UN Secretary-General position is expected to dominate this year's agenda. The current holder, António Guterres, will leave the position at the end of December, after completing two consecutive five-year terms leading the organization. His departure opens the way for the election of a new leader for the international body.

Censorship of the Motion of Censure

The Portuguese opposition parties want the fall of the Government, which is characterized as a minority executive with an oblique strategy and silence tactics. Chega presented a Motion of Censure against the Minister of Internal Administration, invoking an axis of "structural corruption" and accusing him of keeping the Republic hostage. The article analyzes Chega's logic, which intends to create chaos and political noise to expose an alleged ethical degradation of the Democratic Regime. The Prime Minister will not dismiss the Minister, and the greater Chega's agitation, the lower the probability of resignation. The President of the Republic remains silent, risking a political crisis due to excessive zeal. It is predicted that the Motion of Censure will be rejected and transformed by the Government into a parliamentary victory, with the central question remaining unanswered: is the Minister staying or going?
