Ventura accuses Minister of Justice of lying and covering up for Luís Neves

SAPO Notícias9 September 2026 at 17:13

The leader of the Chega party, André Ventura, accused the Minister of Justice of lying and covering up for Luís Neves. Ventura made this accusation during a public address, questioning the official's conduct.

According to Ventura, there are two possibilities regarding the situation. The first is that the Judicial Police may be withholding information from the Minister of Justice. The second is that the Minister herself may be lying to cover up for her colleague from the Interior Administration.

Luís Neves is the central figure in this controversy, being involved in a situation that prompted Ventura's criticism. The Chega leader suggests there is a lack of transparency on the part of the executive.

Ventura's accusation comes in a context of political tension, with the Chega party pressuring the government on this matter. The Minister of Justice has not yet formally responded to the accusations.

Notebooks of the West – Chronicles of a country between the law, custom and reality

A proposal from the Portuguese section of Transparency International, led by João Ribeiro, suggests the criminalisation of "cunha" (using connections) in Portugal, creating a new crime called "undue intermediation for access to public decision-making", punishable by up to three years in prison. The proposal, sent to parliamentary parties in July, aims to distinguish between legitimate contact with public officials and the use of personal, family or institutional relationships to obtain undue advantages in public decisions. The text warns that the measure cannot become a "forest of forms" and that the real challenge will be ensuring that citizens without contacts have the same possibilities as those who know decision-makers, defending that the revolution will be making cunha unnecessary.
