Chega asks if there are Government members with shares in REN

Observador12 September 2026 at 20:34

The Chega party questioned the Government about the possible existence of executive members with financial interests in REN (Redes Energéticas Nacionais), the company managing the national electrical grid. The question was raised by André Ventura, the party leader.

The party wants to know if there are government members with financial interests in REN and, if confirmed, whether the respective conflict of interest was declared when making decisions related to the company.

REN is the company responsible for managing the electrical grid in Portugal, a strategic sector regulated by the State. This type of question frequently arises in the context of governmental decisions that may benefit companies where executive members have holdings.

Why this matters

Readers follow this issue because it involves government transparency and potential conflicts of interest in the management of critical infrastructure of the country. The Executive's response may have implications for public trust in institutions and the regulation of the Portuguese energy sector.

"East Germany suffered two 'betrayals'. This explains a lot why voters are giving a very high percentage to the AfD"

Riccardo Marchi, a researcher specializing in radical right-wing movements, analyzed the phenomenon of high voting for the AfD (Alternative for Germany) in East Germany, attributing it to two historical 'betrayals': reunification that did not bring prosperity and globalization that abandoned the less competitive regions. The specialist also compared the situation with Sweden, where far-right parties have also gained strength, warning about the European trend of growth of these movements.
