André Ventura, leader of Chega, made critical statements regarding the political opposition in Portugal. According to him, the anticipated rejection of the motion of censure against the Government is a result of a 'schizophrenia of courage' on the part of the other parties. This phrase was used to describe the perceived incoherence in the opposition's attitudes towards the proposed motion.

Ventura's remarks come in a context where the motion of censure was expected to be dismissed, reflecting dissatisfaction with how the parties are conducting politics. The criticism suggests a lack of effective action in challenging the Government by the opposition, as interpreted by Ventura.

The expression used by Ventura has been widely discussed, eliciting reactions across various political circles. However, in the absence of a formal response from the opposition thus far, the impact of this language remains undefined.
