Duarte Pacheco: Luís Neves staying on "is a disgrace to PSD"

Observador7 September 2026 at 18:54

Duarte Pacheco, from PSD, considered that Luís Neves' permanence in the party leadership shames PSD. The social-democrat politician states that Luís Neves is, at this moment, the main factor of growth for Chega, the party he leads.

On the other hand, Teresa Nogueira Pinto, from Chega, defended a more firm intervention by the President of the Republic in the current political situation.

The article arises in the context of internal political tensions between the Portuguese parties, with cross-criticism about the leadership and direction each party is taking in the national political landscape.
