10 minutes: judge says there is a process to disband Chega, Constitutional Court denies

SIC Notícias14 September 2026 at 21:02

A judge from the Constitutional Court stated that there is a pending request in the court to disband the Chega party. This declaration immediately generated an official correction from the institution.

The Constitutional Court itself contradicted the judge, ensuring that it has no process to ban political parties underway. The institution clarified that no request in this regard has been submitted.

The case refers to the political party Chega, which has been the subject of public debate in Portugal. The contradiction between the judge's declaration and the court's official position remains without further explanation in the article.

Why this matters

The false statement by a Constitutional Court judge about a non-existent process to ban Chega created political tension in Portugal, raising doubts about the separation of powers and the credibility of judicial institutions. Readers learn that there is currently no legal process to end the party, despite the speculation that circulated.
