The Chega bench rose in the Plenary Hall and repeatedly shouted "resignation" after the rejection of their motion of censure against the Government. The action occurred on September 8, 2026, according to information from the news agency Ecclesia.
The motion of censure presented by Chega targeted the maintenance of Luís Neves as Minister of Internal Administration. The document was ultimately rejected, which prompted the immediate reaction of the party's deputies.
The members of the Chega bench expressed their protest forcefully, leaving their seats and demanding "resignation" repeatedly. This episode occurred during the plenary session of the Assembly of the Republic.
The rejection of the motion of censure represents a political defeat for Chega, which unsuccessfully attempted to topple or pressure the executive through this parliamentary instrument.
