The Ministry of Internal Administration (MAI), Luís Neves, reiterated that he does not intend to present his resignation, stating that he will remain in the position as long as the prime minister sees fit. The position was expressed publicly when questioned about the demands for the minister's departure by some political voices.
Luís Neves stated that his departure will depend exclusively on the prime minister's will or the end of the legislative term. "When am I leaving? When the Government ends or when the prime minister decides," he declared, making it clear that the decision about his continuity in the executive does not rest with him.
This position comes in the context of growing political pressure on the minister, who has faced criticism related to his performance at the head of the Internal Administration portfolio. The MAI thus maintains its stance of not yielding to the demands for resignation that have been made.
The firmness demonstrated by Luís Neves contrasts with the calls for his departure, reinforcing the idea that the final decision on the minister's continuity in the government belongs entirely to the prime minister and not to the political forces calling for his resignation.
