Chega shouts 'resignation' in Parliament in reaction to the rejection of the motion of censure

Now8 September 2026 at 20:08

The censure motion presented by Chega was rejected in the Portuguese Parliament after the vote count in the hemicycle. André Ventura's party failed to obtain the necessary support to approve the motion against the Government or the targeted figure.

After the announcement of the voting result, Chega's parliamentary bench rose as one in the Plenary. The party's deputies shouted slogans calling for the resignation of Luís Neves, expressing their disagreement with the rejection of the motion.

This moment of protest by Chega's parliamentarians prompted an intervention by the president of the Assembly of the Republic of Portugal, José Pedro Aguiar-Branco, who issued a warning to the deputies due to the way the events unfolded. The reaction of Chega's bench ended up marking the outcome of the censure motion vote.

Adelino Maltez: "Let's have several votes on motions of censure because maybe taxes will drop even more"

Political experts José Adelino Maltez and José Palmeira commented on the rejection of the motion of censure against the Government, considering that the Executive "came out tied" from the vote. Maltez criticized the prime minister's strategy of announcing IRS reductions up to the sixth bracket during the debate, suggesting ironically that more motions of censure should be held so that taxes continue to drop. Palmeira warned that political wear remains, although the Government may recover if it maintains the perception that there is no better alternative. Both agreed that Chega came out favored by the rejection, taking the opportunity to reinforce its political position.
