The Minister of Internal Administration, Luís Neves, was heard in Parliament for more than four hours, in a session that took place in the context of a political crisis related to his portfolio. During the hearing, the minister acknowledged that he made mistakes, but guaranteed that these errors did not harm the Portuguese State.
Luís Neves made it clear that he does not intend to resign, meaning he does not intend to step down voluntarily. The minister indicated that he will only leave the executive if the prime minister so decides and determines.
The parliamentary session lasted more than four hours, during which the government official was confronted with questions about his actions and the decisions made within the scope of the Ministry of Internal Administration. This type of parliamentary hearing is a political oversight mechanism provided for in the Portuguese Constitution.
