"Luís Neves was the best choice of all possible ones"

Observador14 September 2026 at 10:49

Rui Pereira, former Minister of Internal Administration, expressed confidence in the integrity of Luís Neves, considering him "the best choice of all possible ones". The statements come in the context of a discussion about the appointment of Luís Neves to a position related to police forces.

The former official defends that political leaders should maintain a relationship of trust with security forces. According to Rui Pereira, politicians should avoid making public criticisms of the police, privileging dialogue and institutional collaboration.

This position of Rui Pereira comes at a time when the choice of Luís Neves has been publicly debated, with the former minister reinforcing his personal and professional support for the nominee.

Why this matters

The trust between the government and police forces is fundamental for the functioning of the judicial system. This public support from a former Minister of Internal Administration for Luís Neves may influence public perception of the leadership of the Judicial Police and the future of cooperation between political power and police authorities in Portugal.
