The Ratton Palace confirmed that the Constitutional Court has no pending request to ban political parties. This clarification came after a senior judge made a statement that suggested such requests existed.
The confirmation was provided after some confusion generated by the magistrate's remarks. The court currently has no proceedings regarding the dissolution or banning of political forces.
The Chega party appears as the main target of any potential ban requests. Several voices have been advocating that the party should be banned from the Portuguese political system.
This issue arises at a time of political tension in Portugal, with André Ventura's party growing in polls and sparking debate about the limits of political action and party political expression.
