Chega accused Luís Neves of bringing "unprecedented degradation" to democratic institutions. The accusation was made in the context of a political intervention against the minister.
André Ventura, leader of the Chega party, directly targeted the minister during his speech. Ventura questioned Luís Neves about his position in the executive.
The centrist leader asked the minister how he still has "the nerve to be sitting on the Government bench," in a critical reference to Luís Neves' presence in the executive.
The accusation of degradation of institutions comes at a time of political tension between Chega and the Government, with the party reinforcing its critical position regarding the executive's actions.
