Luís Neves, the Minister of Internal Affairs, is being heard in Parliament this morning. This hearing aims to clarify various controversies associated with his time as national director of the Judiciary Police (PJ).

The debate and vote on a motion of censure, presented by the Chega party, are also scheduled for today in the Assembly of the Republic. This motion is a response to critical issues raised by several parliamentary groups regarding the Government's performance.

Neves faced questions related to his actions at the PJ, which have generated controversy in recent times. His responsiveness and the information he provides during the hearing will be closely scrutinized.

The hearing is set for 10:00 AM, where Neves is expected to provide detailed explanations about the incidents that sparked criticism during his tenure as director of the PJ.

In addition to the debate on the motion of censure, the Assembly of the Republic will focus on other governance-related issues, reflecting the current political climate in Portugal.

The reactions of the parties to the hearing and the potential vote on the motion of censure will be closely monitored, as they could influence the immediate future of the Government and the political stability of the country.
