The Chega party questioned whether there are members of the Portuguese Government with holdings in REN (Redes Energéticas Nacionais), raising questions about potential conflicts of interest. This issue arises in the context of a controversial state purchase of a 13.7% stake in the company.
Chega also accused the Socialist Party (PS) of lying about VAT. This accusation arises within the framework of a broader political debate about the Executive's decisions regarding the energy company.
The state purchase in question was made above market price, which has been generating controversy and political debate. The amount paid by the Portuguese State in acquiring this stake in REN has been subject to scrutiny by opposition parties.
André Ventura's party thus intends to pressure the Government to clarify any links between Executive members and the energy sector company, as well as transparency regarding the circumstances that led to the decision to purchase at a price above market.
