André Ventura warns of potential pension cuts in speech in Santarém
During Chega's comeback, André Ventura addressed the pension issue and criticized other parties.

André Ventura, the leader of Chega, delivered a speech in Santarém during the party's comeback, where he addressed several important issues. One of the main concerns expressed was the possibility of cuts to pensions, a topic that has generated recent political discussion.
Ventura reinforced his position by insinuating that the leader of the PSD, Luís Montenegro, was planning to implement measures that would lead to a reduction in pensions. This accusation is part of a broader strategy by Chega to position itself as a viable alternative in the national political landscape.
In addition to pensions, Ventura also commented on other issues, including controversies related to the Minister of Internal Administration and the situation in Ceuta, which continue to be debatable topics in Portugal. The speech highlights an attempt by the party to distance itself from the policies of major parties like the PSD and PS.

Chega, which recently marked its comeback after its political adversaries, is trying to consolidate its image and increase its influence in the Portuguese parliament. Ventura made it clear that his objective is government leadership, positioning himself as a serious contender in the upcoming elections.
Ventura's approach to the pension issue may reflect an effort to mobilize support among voters concerned about social security and the future of their pensions, topics that have a direct impact on the public's worries.
