"Was it the PS of José Luís Carneiro that was going to make great reforms? It doesn't seem so to me. And on the Chega side, much less so"

CNN Portugal12 September 2026 at 00:10

Assunção Cristas, commentator at CNN Portugal, commented this Friday on the program Contrapoder about the prospects for political reforms in Portugal. The former leader of CDS-PP questioned whether the Socialist Party, under the leadership of José Luís Carneiro, would really be prepared to implement major structural reforms in the country.

In her comment, Cristas expressed doubts about the PS's ability to achieve significant changes, stating skeptically: "It doesn't seem so to me." The commentator also extended her criticism to the Chega party, considering it even less likely that this political force would be in a position to move forward with high-impact reforms.

Cristas's statements come in the context of a broader debate about Portugal's political future and the expectations of the main parties regarding possible structural reforms. As a commentator at CNN Portugal, Assunção Cristas has been regularly analyzing national political news, offering her perspective on the dynamics between the main parties.

The statement was filed after Rodrigues presented clarifications to the STF regarding the accusations of investigating authorities, defending the legality of his actions. Mendonça stated that the measure does not encroach on the president's competence to appoint and dismiss members of the PF leadership, highlighting that the Supreme Court has jurisprudence that allows the precautionary removal of public servants. The minister rejected the argument that the departure of the two directors would cause disorganization in the institution, arguing that other delegates have the technical capacity to assume the positions.
