"No one wants to corner Luís Neves. That hearing was unbelievable"

ZAP Notícias13 September 2026 at 14:00

The Minister of Internal Administration, Luís Neves, answered questions from deputies last Tuesday in a parliamentary hearing. The hearing took place before the Committee on Constitutional Affairs, Rights, Freedoms and Guarantees.

Commentator João Miguel Tavares harshly criticized the deputies' performance during this hearing. According to Miguel Tavares, the deputies did not ask the questions they should have asked the minister, considering that they did not properly question Luís Neves.

The commentator described the deputies' performance as deplorable, using the expression "sad deputies" to characterize them. Miguel Tavares considered that hearing to be "unbelievable," suggesting that the parties missed an important opportunity to clarify relevant issues with the minister.

Chega was the first party to intervene in the hearing, starting right after Luís Neves made an initial statement without much explanation. The sequence of parties in the hearing followed the usual order of parliamentary groups.
