Prime Minister Montenegro publicly expressed his support for the Minister of Internal Administration, Luís Neves, classifying him as "an excellent minister" and stating that "Portugal needs him". This statement comes at a time when the Executive is facing political pressures.
Montenegro underlined that the Government has an obligation to clarify any questions related to the exercise of its duties, implicitly acknowledging the need for accountability to Members of Parliament.
However, the Prime Minister countered the criticism, noting that the executive is fully capable of exercising its responsibilities. Montenegro added that, despite the objections raised by the deputies, the results of governance are very positive.
This defense of Luís Neves by Montenegro comes in the context of a broader debate about the performance of the Ministry of Internal Administration and the need for transparency in public management.
