The leader of Chega, André Ventura, asserted that his motion of censure will "separate the wheat from the chaff" in Portuguese politics. According to Ventura, the proposal aims to identify those who genuinely criticize the government and those who align with Luís Montenegro, leader of the PSD.

When confronted with the expectation that the motion of censure will be rejected, Ventura referred to the situation as a "kind of schizophrenia of courage" on the part of the parties, indicating a dissonance between the criticisms made and the actions taken.

He criticized the lack of action from opposition parties, suggesting that many do not follow through on the criticisms they make of the government but rather align with it.

At the same time, press attention turned to football, as Benfica defeated Marítimo 3-0, a result that was highlighted in various parallel reports.

The discussion surrounding the motion of censure reflects a political context in which criticisms of the government are multiplying, but the effective action of the parties seems to diverge from their public statements.
