The Minister of Internal Administration, Luís Neves, stated during a parliamentary hearing held this Tuesday that he is not "minimally affected" by the controversies surrounding him. The government official expressed determination to continue exercising his duties, declaring that as long as he has the Prime Minister's confidence, he will proceed with his work.
The parliamentary hearing took place at a time of political pressure on Luís Neves, who has faced several controversies. The minister reiterated his position of stability and confidence in the position he holds, referring to the Prime Minister's will as the determining factor for his continuity in the executive.
The government official did not specify which concrete controversies he was referring to, but his intervention aimed to convey an image of firmness and of not being disturbed by the criticism that has arisen. The reference to the Prime Minister's confidence appears as a central element in justifying his remaining in office.
This was Luís Neves's first public statement after the episodes that generated controversy, in an attempt to close the chapter and demonstrate that he remains focused on carrying out his ministerial duties.
