Do neighbours fall out and the truths come out at the PJ?

Observador14 September 2026 at 19:34

The Judicial Police is involved in internal investigations concerning its own director, in a situation that the title compares to the popular saying about "washing dirty laundry." This circumstance arises at a time when the Executive is accused of ignoring the increase in public debt interest rates.

The Portuguese Government is noted for not paying attention to the rise in sovereign debt interest rates, at a time when this issue affects the country's public finances.

The leader of the Chega party, André Ventura, points fingers at the Livre party, accusing it of being involved in a break-in at his parliamentary office. This accusation emerges as yet another episode of political tension between the political forces represented in the Assembly of the Republic.

Why this matters

Portuguese readers are directly affected by these three issues: the independence of the PJ is crucial for the Rule of Law, the rise in interest rates impacts public finances and everyone's taxes, and Ventura's accusations polarize the national political debate.
