Luís Neves reaffirms he will not resign and guarantees he will only leave the post "when the prime minister decides"

DianaFM8 September 2026 at 14:48

The Minister of Internal Administration, Luís Neves, rejected on Tuesday, in Parliament, any resignation scenario, stating that he maintains all conditions to remain in the post. During the parliamentary session, the government official assured that he will only leave office "when the prime minister decides." The position was stated at a moment of intense political pressure on the minister.

Luís Neves was confronted by deputies with various controversies that have involved him in recent weeks. Among the matters questioned are cases related to works carried out on his private residence and the use of a trailer. The deputies insisted on questions about these matters during the session.

The prime minister has not publicly commented on the minister's situation so far. It is not mentioned in the article whether there was any resignation request from Luís Neves or any indication from the government about a possible replacement. The government official thus remains in the post, with his continuity depending on a decision by the prime minister.

Bad weather: Maximum 60% support for damage is "manifestly insufficient"

The Government made available a maximum support of 60% for municipalities affected by bad weather, but this percentage is considered "manifestly insufficient" by the National Association of Portuguese Municipalities. The federation warns that this measure will continue to strongly pressure the treasuries of local authorities, which will have to bear a significant part of the recovery costs from damage caused by severe weather.

Leiria considers "manifestly insufficient" the 60% support for damage caused by bad weather

The president of the Intermunicipal Community of the Leiria Region, Jorge Vala, considered the maximum support of 60% from the Municipal Emergency Fund for the municipalities affected by the storms at the beginning of the year "manifestly insufficient," arguing that this amount should be increased to 85% or 100%, as has happened in other situations. Jorge Vala added that there is an expectation of a proposal in the Assembly of the Republic to that end, noting that the 40% municipal co-payment represents a very significant burden on municipal treasuries. The mayor also expressed concern that significant investments in civil protection, such as the removal of waste and woody material costing over nine million euros, are not covered by the available support.
