The leader of Chega, André Ventura, accused the PS this Monday of blocking elections for the external bodies of the Assembly of the Republic and of refusing to allow his party to nominate a candidate for the Constitutional Court.
The elections have already been scheduled several times but remain unheld due to a lack of consensus between PSD, Chega, and PS.
All parliamentary groups, except Chega, expressed solidarity with Teresa Morais, applauding the acting President of the Assembly of the Republic. However, some insist on the importance of taking the discussion further at the leaders' conference and in committee, with potential sanctions being reconsidered.
Isabel Mendes Lopes will serve her final days as parliamentary leader of Livre before suspending her mandate for one month for personal and family reasons. Paulo Muacho, elected for the Setúbal constituency, has been unanimously chosen to succeed her, taking over representation at the Conference of Leaders. Additionally, Tomás Cardoso Pereira will temporarily replace Mendes Lopes as a member of parliament during her absence.
