PSD considers that "at the end of the day" a motion of confidence in the Government will come out

dnoticias.pt8 September 2026 at 17:25

The PSD's parliamentary leader, Hugo Soares, considered that the motion of censure presented by Chega, which was voted today in Parliament, will represent "at the end of the day" a motion of confidence in the Government. Hugo Soares addressed André Ventura directly, the president of Chega, arguing that it was Ventura himself who scheduled the debate on this motion of censure that will become what will be a motion of confidence in the Executive.

Hugo Soares also accused the secretary-general of the PS, the prime minister's party, of lying to the Portuguese about fuel taxes. This accusation was made by the president of the PSD Parliamentary Group during his intervention in the debate on the motion of censure.

The article states that in his intervention, Hugo Soares sought to characterize the PSD's position regarding this motion of censure. The motion was presented by Chega, a far-right party led by André Ventura, and was scheduled to be voted on the same day as the debate.
