JPP requires parliamentary inquiry into Luís Neves's role as PJ director

Correio da Manhã11 September 2026 at 18:01

The JPP party (Juntos pelo Povo) presented a request for a parliamentary inquiry into the procedures adopted by Luís Neves during his tenure as national director of the Judicial Police. This is the second request to this effect presented by the party.

Luís Neves is currently the Minister of Internal Administration, having assumed this position after his tenure as head of the PJ. The inquiry request aims to clarify issues related to his performance at the head of the Judicial Police.

The request comes following concerns raised about the methods and decisions made by Luís Neves during his term as national director of the PJ, before rising to the ministerial position.

JPP's request aims to have parliament evaluate and oversee Luís Neves's conduct in that role, at a time when the current minister continues to hold the Internal Administration portfolio in the government.

Montenegro says school "lost quality". But solutions...

Prime Minister Luís Montenegro stated in Setúbal that the Portuguese school has lost quality and rigor in recent years, supporting the diagnosis with the PISA 2025 results, and announced a 170 million euro package to modernize 35 schools in the Setúbal Peninsula, funded by the EIB, as well as 500 euro monthly incentives to attract 600 teachers to the region. However, experts warn that the measures lack legislative scheduling, that execution depends on annual budget allocation in the State Budget, and that structural reforms require parliamentary approval, while the restriction on mobile phone use remains without a defined regime. Montenegro's discourse softened within 48 hours, no longer attributing blame exclusively to previous governments, although experts dispute the use of PISA as a curriculum assessment, emphasizing that results depend on socioeconomic variables and that improving skills takes about a decade to produce effects.
