Mariana Leitão "very satisfied" with Passos's words, asks Montenegro to listen to IL

Público14 September 2026 at 21:18

Mariana Leitão, leader of the Iniciativa Liberal party, said she is "very satisfied" with the statements made by Passos Coelho. The liberal president also asked PSD leader Luís Montenegro to listen to the Iniciativa Liberal party.

Mariana Leitão refused to take a position on a possible parliamentary inquiry committee into problems in Education. The liberal leader preferred to wait for clarification from the Government before taking a position on this matter.

Mariana Leitão's position comes in a context of political debate surrounding problems in the Education sector, where the Iniciativa Liberal leader opts for a cautious stance before committing to a definitive position on the creation of an inquiry committee.

Why this matters

The IL leader in Portugal is strengthening her political position by asking Prime Minister Montenegro to pay attention to the party, while refusing to support an inquiry committee on Education, which could influence the balance of power in parliament and political decisions on the education sector.
