Luís Neves, Minister of Internal Administration, stated that he will only leave the position "when the Government ends", rejecting any possibility of stepping down before the end of the legislature. The statement comes at a time of political pressure on the government official.
In over four hours of interventions, the minister repeatedly stated that he maintains confidence in himself to continue in the position. The insistence on the message of permanence suggests that his words were directed both at public opinion and at the coalition government partners.
The episode occurs in a context of political tension, where the continuity of Luís Neves at the head of the Internal Administration portfolio has been questioned by various political forces. His inflexible position contrasts with the calls for his resignation.
