Censure motion discussed in Parliament: André Ventura 'shoots' at Luís Neves

Sábado8 September 2026 at 15:17

The censure motion presented by the Chega party is being discussed in Parliament during the afternoon. This motion was presented by the leader of Chega, André Ventura.

During the discussion, André Ventura directed his criticism at Luís Neves, a government member or political figure targeted by the party.

The remaining parties represented in Parliament have already announced they will not approve the censure motion, which makes its viability unlikely.

The censure motion is a parliamentary instrument that allows the opposition to question the government's actions, although, without majority support in the assembly, it is destined to be rejected.

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.
