Democratic Senator John Fetterman sent a message to the Republican Party convention praising Trump and rejecting "socialism"

Expresso10 September 2026 at 12:38

Democratic Senator John Fetterman sent a message to the Republican Party convention in which he praised former President Donald Trump and rejected what he classified as "socialism," in an unexpected position for a member of the Democratic Party.

Fetterman identified himself as a "reasonable Democrat" during his intervention, also leaving praise for well-known figures of the Republican Party, which underscored his bipartisan position at the convention.

This intervention by the senator increased the fears among Democrats that Fetterman may be distancing himself from the party or even considering a definitive exit from the Democratic Party.

The episode arises at a time of internal tension within the Democratic Party, with Fetterman's moderate posture generating concern among the more progressive members of the party.

PS accuses Government of social insensitivity and of raising 400 million in unexpected taxes

José Luís Carneiro, PS leader, criticized the Government for providing insufficient support to families and agriculture, accusing it of raising 400 million euros in taxes not foreseen in the State Budget. The socialist pointed to an increase in tax revenue of 600 million euros in VAT and 600 million euros in fuel taxes, contrasting this with only 15 million euros in agricultural diesel support approved. Carneiro exemplified this with the case of a 78-year-old pensioner who continues to work to survive, warning that the Executive cannot remain "insensitive" to the population's difficulties.

Chega insists on inquiry committee into Luís Neves amid clash with Aguiar-Branco

Chega submitted a new request to Parliament on Thursday to establish an inquiry committee into Luís Neves's management at the Judicial Police, after its motion of censure against the Government was rejected. The party intends for the inquiry committee to be constituted on September 15, when the Assembly of the Republic resumes its normal operation. The submission of this new request comes after José Pedro Aguiar-Branco, president of the Assembly of the Republic, warned that he could reject the proposal if Chega did not amend the grounds and subject matter, pointing to "insufficiencies in the delimitation". Although Chega states that Aguiar-Branco's doubts are "devoid of any legal and constitutional basis" and maintains the original subject matter concerning Luís Neves's mandates, the party has introduced changes, now also proposing to examine the contracts awarded by the PJ to Construbarcelos and verify the existence of conflicts of interest in the contracting of that company.
