PSD says Chega's motion fell "from Mars in tumbles" and Luís Neves has already given "all explanations"

Correio da Manhã7 September 2026 at 19:52

PSD considered that the motion of censure presented by Chega fell "from Mars in tumbles", in reference to the abrupt fall of the political initiative. The party noted that Luís Neves, a figure associated with the case, would have already given all necessary explanations about the situation.

Hugo Soares, on behalf of PSD, considered that the sole purpose of the motion of censure is "to keep deputy André Ventura in the media agenda", suggesting that Chega's initiative has motivations of political visibility and not technical substance.

Chega's motion of censure apparently aimed to politically pressure the Executive or oppose some governmental decision, but ended up losing force quickly after the explanations provided by Luís Neves.

PSD took the opportunity to reinforce that André Ventura's party failed to demonstrate solid grounds for the motion, in a scenario that it considered predictable given the nature of the initiative.

Kallas reverses course and cancels EU Defense working group that included Gomes Cravinho

The EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Kaja Kallas, cancelled a high-level defense working group that was set to be launched today and included former Portuguese minister João Gomes Cravinho, after several member states considered the initiative untimely. The group was to be led by former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen and composed of former leaders such as France's Florence Parly, Britain's Ben Wallace, Ukraine's Andriy Zagorodnyuk, and Estonia's Juri Luik. The objective was to address gaps in Europe's conventional military capabilities and evaluate the response to Russian hybrid attacks. The cancellation comes at a time when the effectiveness of the European External Action Service and the High Representative position is being questioned, with France and Germany proposing a strengthening of the role's powers.
