Journalist Felícia Cabrita commented on the NOW program on the motion of censure presented to the Government, which was motivated by the controversy surrounding the Minister of Internal Administration, Luís Neves. The journalist considered that this situation constituted a strategic error on the part of the Chega party, describing the decision as "a shot in the foot". Felícia Cabrita stated that Luís Neves comes out reinforced from the episode, suggesting that the controversy ended up benefiting the minister politically rather than harming him. The journalist's analysis focused on the political consequences of this confrontation between Chega and the executive.

Analysts warn that the narrative of a victorious far-right across borders can be dangerous, but that each national context has its own particularities.
