"I think it already exceeds all limits": Rui Tavares threatens to take Ventura to court

SIC Notícias13 September 2026 at 20:32

Rui Tavares, from the Livre party, threatened to take legal action against André Ventura, the Chega leader, after he suggested that Livre could have been involved in the break-in at his office in Parliament. The threat was made during Livre's rentrée, the event marking the party's political comeback this weekend.

The former party spokesperson accused André Ventura of being a "compulsive liar" and considered that the insinuation made by the Chega leader exceeds all acceptable limits.

Rui Tavares also expressed his distrust regarding the break-in story, stating that it is very poorly told, questioning the version of events presented by André Ventura.

Why this matters

This dispute directly affects Portuguese readers who follow national politics, as it involves two parties with parliamentary representation and may have legal and political consequences. Ventura's accusation against Livre and Tavares's lawsuit threat reflect the growing tensions between political forces in the Portuguese Parliament.
