Now8 September 2026 at 18:48

The Chega party presented a motion of censure in Parliament. This motion was rejected by the assembly, not obtaining the necessary support to be approved.

The Socialist Party, the main opposition party, abstained in the vote, neither voting in favor nor against the motion presented by Chega.

Chega was the only party to vote in favor of the motion of censure, which demonstrates the party's isolation in its political initiative. The remaining parties voted against or abstained.
