Chega presented a motion of censure to the government that is expected to be rejected in Parliament. This motion represents another initiative by André Ventura's party against the executive led by the Prime Minister.
The Socialist Party, the main opposition party, announced that it will abstain from the vote on the motion of censure. This position by the PS indicates that the socialists do not intend to contribute to the fall of the government at this stage.
The PSD, the party that is part of the governing coalition, reacted with harsh criticism to the motion. According to the party, the initiative by Chega appears "fallen from Mars in a tumble to feed André Ventura's ego," demonstrating the poor reception of the motion among the government's allies.
