Vandalized office: Parliament has already received request for Ventura to testify

SIC Notícias15 September 2026 at 11:24

The Portuguese Parliament received a request for André Ventura to testify, with him having the option to choose between testifying in person or in writing. The request arises in the context of a vandalism incident that hit an office, raising questions about the events that led to the act.

André Ventura, as a political figure involved in this situation, will need to decide how he prefers to cooperate with the authorities or with the parliamentary institution. The choice between in-person and written testimony represents procedural flexibility that is common in such cases.

The vandalism incident at an office appears to have been the catalyst for this formal testimony request. The specific circumstances of the vandal act and its motivations are not yet fully clear from the available information.

Parliament, as the institution that received the request, now acts as an intermediary in this process, with Ventura responsible for responding to the request according to the terms presented to him.

Why this matters

Readers in Portugal are following this case because it involves a parliamentary investigation into acts of vandalism in a political office, which may have implications for the internal functioning of the Chega party and for André Ventura himself. The choice of testimony format (in person or written) may influence how the investigation proceeds and its conclusions.
