Motion. Rangel: "We need to say enough is enough to Chega and that's it for PS"

Observador8 September 2026 at 18:30

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Paulo Rangel, presented a motion in which he harshly criticizes Chega, demanding that "enough is enough" be said to André Ventura's party. In his speech, Rangel condemned the censorship motion presented by Chega and expressed opposition to the party's support for the German AfD formation.

Rangel also directed severe criticisms at the Socialist Party, accusing the socialists of manipulating data and acting with irresponsibility in governing the country. These accusations arise in the context of the political debate surrounding the presented motion.

Chega's censorship motion was one of the central themes of the debate, with the Minister of Foreign Affairs positioning himself against this initiative. Rangel's position reflects the political tension between the main Portuguese parties at this time.

The episode highlights the tensions between the different Portuguese political parties, with Rangel seeking to draw a clear line between his positions and those of Chega, while directing attacks at PS, in a context of strong political confrontation.
