Luís Neves remains in his post despite formal demands for his resignation from Chega.
André Ventura, leader of Chega, has sent a formal letter to Prime Minister Montenegro requesting the dismissal of Neves, arguing that the maintenance of the MAI puts in question the “regular functioning of institutions.”
While some critics have described the actions of other officials, such as Fernando Alexandre, as lacking rigor, the accusations against Luís Neves are that he was “little ethical.”
Ventura’s Formal Demand for the Dismissal of Luís Neves
André Ventura has escalated his opposition to the current leadership of the Ministry of Internal Administration (MAI) by notifying both the Prime Minister and the President of the Republic about the instability caused by the maintenance of the MAI. According to reports from Jornal de Negócios, Ventura warns that the maintenance of the MAI puts in question the “regular functioning of institutions.”
The Observador reports that Ventura dispatched a letter to Montenegro calling for the dismissal of Neves.
Ângela Silva, as reported by Expresso, described the pressure exerted by Ventura to remove Luís Neves as “brutal.”
Ethics and Governance Allegations at the MAI
In a comparison of government conduct, Notícias ao Minuto highlighted a distinction between two officials: while Fernando Alexandre was accused of being “little rigorous,” the accusations against Luís Neves are that he was “little ethical.”
Montenegro’s Position and the Political Calculation
Reports from Diário de Notícias suggest that Neves maintains silence and hopes that Montenegro remains deaf to the pressures.
