PS defends abstention to avoid political crisis while holding the Government accountable

The Socialist Party's bodies defend that the PS should abstain on the motion of censure presented by Chega against the Government. This position aims to avoid a political crisis, but without absolving the Government of its responsibilities. The abstention strategy allows the party not to take a direct position against the executive while maintaining its critical stance. The party thus intends to navigate between the need for political stability and the desire not to be associated with Chega's motion.
