Chega questions whether Government members have stakes in REN and accuses PS of lying about VAT

Público12 September 2026 at 19:06

The Chega party questioned whether there are members of the Government with stakes in REN (Redes Energéticas Nacionais), with the party's leader, André Ventura, sending questions to the executive about the purchase of REN.

The right-wing party also questioned the PS of lying regarding the VAT issue, in a context of political debate on these matters.

Ventura also attacked the PSD MEP Paulo Carneiro, stating that the bills presented by Chega are legislative proposals intended to come into force only in 2027, and that the PS rejected them in July.

This situation arises within the framework of political tensions between Chega and the PS, with the far-right party insisting on the need for clarifications about the Government's actions and its relations with REN.

Why this matters

This news is relevant to readers because it exposes a political dispute between Chega and the PS over government transparency and potential conflicts of interest in the acquisition of REN, a strategic energy infrastructure. The controversy directly affects taxpayers and energy consumers, raising questions about the integrity of the governmental decision-making process and the truthfulness of the accusations between the parties.
