SAPO Notícias8 September 2026 at 15:32

The president of Chega, André Ventura, again defended the dismissal of the Minister of Internal Administration, Luís Neves. Ventura considers that the controversies involving the minister caused an "unprecedented degradation" of institutions and the function of government official. The party thus insists on the demand for the resignation of the government member, reinforcing its political position against Luís Neves.

Chega questions: "Why was Luís Neves removed from Operation Influencer?"

Chega's leader, André Ventura, questioned in Parliament why current Minister of Internal Administration Luís Neves was removed from Operation Influencer, within the framework of the motion of censure presented by the party. Ventura addressed Minister José Luís Carneiro, questioning why the PS is silent and demanding explanations about the different treatment compared to other cases. Deputy Rita Matias reinforced the suspicions, questioning the normality of a reference criminal police body being removed from a process that led to the fall of a Government. Chega also announced it would propose a parliamentary inquiry committee into Operation Influencer to investigate acts of corruption in the last Executive of António Costa, although PSD and PS have already blocked this CPI from advancing. Operation Influencer investigates suspected crimes in the construction of a data center in Sines, in lithium exploration in Montalegre and Boticas, and in hydrogen production, having led to the fall of António Costa's Government in November 2023.
