The leader of Chega, André Ventura, announced that he will present a motion of censure against the government next Tuesday if the Prime Minister does not address the situation of the Minister of Internal Administration, Luís Neves. This declaration comes amid intense scrutiny over Neves due to several decisions made in recent months.

Ventura emphasized the need to maintain ethical standards in politics, stating that the current situation cannot be ignored. Despite his firmness, the Chega leader stated that he does not intend to provoke a political crisis with this motion.

The deadline Ventura set for the dismissal of Luís Neves is September 1. Pressure on the minister has increased over the summer, with criticism stemming from his actions and controversial decisions.

According to a report from RTP, Ventura made it clear that the retention of Neves in office will not be acceptable and promises to proceed with the motion of censure if there is no response from the government.
