Constitutional Court states it has no pending request to ban political parties

Correio da Manhã14 September 2026 at 16:55

The Constitutional Court states that it has no pending request to ban political parties. Judge Maria Benedita Urbano indicated that the court has no proceedings in this regard underway.

According to the judge, the Constitutional Court had already received a request for the dissolution of the Chega party. This request was initiated by lawyer António Garcia Pereira.

This information comes at a time when the Chega party has gained significant parliamentary representation, which has generated public debate about the possibility of banning extremist parties under the Portuguese Constitution.

Why this matters

The clarification is relevant to readers because it directly addresses the legality of a political party currently represented in Parliament. The clarification about the nonexistence of pending proceedings removes legal uncertainties that could affect the national political landscape.
