Rui Tavares rejects Ventura's insinuations about parliamentary office break-in and admits to legal process

Expresso12 September 2026 at 23:21

Rui Tavares rejected the insinuations made by André Ventura, president of Chega, regarding an alleged responsibility of PSD or Livre for the supposed break-in at Ventura's office in parliament, in July. This week, Ventura made these insinuations in an interview on the NOW channel.

Rui Tavares, from Livre, responded to Ventura's accusations, denying any involvement or responsibility of his party in the alleged incident. Tavares's response comes following Ventura's public statements about the case.

The episode reportedly occurred in July, in André Ventura's office located in the parliament premises. Ventura has been suggesting that parties such as PSD or Livre could be involved in the alleged break-in, however without presenting concrete evidence for these accusations.

The article also mentions that Rui Tavares admits to a legal process regarding this issue, although the specific details of that process are not developed in the available text.

Why this matters

This news directly affects Portuguese readers interested in national politics, as it involves serious accusations between party leaders in a parliamentary context. The dispute between Ventura and Tavares, with the inclusion of PSD in the insinuations, fuels political tensions and may have implications for ongoing legal proceedings.
