BE says Luís Neves asks the country to accept that he is "not a person of paperwork" and questions whether "the law was for everyone"

Now8 September 2026 at 12:33

Luís Neves asked the country to accept that he is not a person of paperwork, questioning whether the law was applied equally to all citizens. The statements arise in the context of a controversy about alleged irregularities in his actions or decisions.

The politician again stressed that no one can claim to have fulfilled everything in an immaculate way throughout life, implicitly acknowledging that he may have made mistakes, but defending his overall integrity.

Luís Neves also recalled that never before had one of his decisions been considered null, suggesting that the now-questioned decision represents an unprecedented situation in his professional or political career.

The article does not specify what position or role Luís Neves holds, nor does it detail the exact nature of the alleged irregularities, limiting itself to reproducing his defensive statements.

London will be on "the wrong side of history" with sanctions application, says Isaac Herzog

Israeli President Isaac Herzog warned that the United Kingdom will be "on the wrong side of history" if it imposes sanctions on Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, just hours before London announced those measures. Herzog criticized the sanctions as interference in Israeli elections and stated they would economically harm the Palestinians. British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband announced targeted sanctions specifically on settlement expansion, although they do not represent a total boycott of Israeli products. The measures come in the context of growing outrage in Western countries over the acceleration of settlement construction in the West Bank, territory occupied by Israel since 1967 and considered illegal by the UN and the international community.
