The motion of censure against the Government presented by the Chega party was rejected in the Portuguese Parliament. The text, proposed by André Ventura's party, did not obtain the necessary support to proceed, with only Chega's deputies voting in favor.
The Minister of Internal Administration was today at the center of the criticisms that motivated the presentation of this motion. The government official was heard by deputies on the Standing Committee before the debate and vote on the motion.
The Chega party based its motion on criticisms directed at the executive, but failed to convince the other political forces to support the text. With only the votes from Chega's bench in favor, the motion was clearly rejected.
The debate and vote on the motion of censure was broadcast live, allowing citizens to follow in real time the unfolding of this political moment in Parliament.
