The parliamentary inquiry commission proposed by the Chega party to investigate Luís Neves, director of the Judicial Police (PJ), will move forward after an agreement with its president, José Pedro Aguiar-Branco. Aguiar-Branco imposed two conditions on Chega, which were accepted by the party led by André Ventura.

The President of the Assembly of the Republic announced that only nine of the 11 points in Chega's proposal will be the subject of investigation. Chega had proposed a comprehensive inquiry, but some issues were removed to facilitate the advancement of the process.

According to reports, Aguiar-Branco considered that most of the topics presented by Chega were suitable for inclusion in the commission's scope, but the introduction of the two conditions was necessary for the proposal to be accepted.

The agreement was confirmed by Ventura, who announced that Chega accepted the proposed modifications. Discussions surrounding the inquiry commission took place in a context of intense parliamentary activity.

In Parliament, the situation was also marked by tensions, with the Minister of Education accusing the Socialist Party of ignoring problems in the education system, such as the shortage of teachers, which added a new element to the ongoing political debate.

The progression of these events marks a significant development in the investigations related to the PJ and the role of Luís Neves, with the ongoing work of the inquiry commission now awaited.
