Luís Neves arrived in Government in February as one of the most consensual choices of the government reshuffle. His previous passage through the Judicial Police had earned him respect from both the left and right of politics, making him a figure considered cross-party.
Six months after his appointment, Luís Neves became one of the main targets of the Chega party, no longer seen as a consensual bet but transforming into an uncomfortable minister for the right-wing opposition.
This Tuesday, Luís Neves faced an demanding parliamentary marathon. First, he was present at the Constitutional Affairs committee, where he had to answer questions from the deputies.
Then followed the debate in the plenary of the motion of censure presented by André Ventura, leader of Chega, against the Government. Luís Neves attended this debate, which represented another moment of political confrontation around his ministerial performance.
