Chega doesn't spare Luís Neves: "His story has more holes than a Swiss cheese"

Notícias de Coimbra8 September 2026 at 17:17

The Chega party did not hold back on criticism of Internal Administration Minister Luís Neves. MP Francisco Gomes accused the minister of dodging explanations during a parliamentary address this Tuesday. The main criticism focused on the lack of transparency, with Francisco Gomes stating that "his story has more holes than a Swiss cheese," in reference to the consistency and credibility of the minister's account.

Luís Neves is the Internal Administration Minister of the current government. Francisco Gomes is a Chega MP who used the Assembly of the Republic podium to level his accusations against the government official.

The episode falls within a context of political tension between Chega and the executive, with the far-right party taking a firm opposition stance toward the government. The party has been using parliamentary sessions to publicly question and criticize executive members, particularly on sensitive areas such as security and internal administration.
