PS will abstain in Chega's motion of censure against the Government

RTP Notícias8 September 2026 at 00:30

The Socialist Party (PS) announced it will abstain in the motion of censure presented by Chega against the Government. This decision was communicated by José Luís Carneiro, a prominent PS figure.

José Luís Carneiro considered that the abstention position allows avoiding a political crisis. However, he noted that this posture does not absolve the Government of responsibilities for its actions or decisions.

The motion of censure was presented by Chega, a far-right party, demonstrating the opposition dynamics between different political forces in the Portuguese parliament.

With PS abstaining, Chega's motion of censure is not expected to succeed, since the Socialist Party is the main opposition party and its position is decisive for the voting outcome.
