"Chega has already done everything it could do. We have already put forward the project, already guaranteed it provisionally, and already indicated the names. Now the swearing-in has to take place. If Aguiar Branco refuses to do it, he is committing an unconstitutional act, something clearly against the Constitution. But worse than that, he is showing that he is a president of the Assembly equally tied to interests, like Ferro Rodrigues and Augusto Santos Silva. And that is wrong. It is inconceivable to accept that an inquiry committee could be halted because two are ongoing." André Ventura insists that Aguiar Branco is tied to the interests of the PSD and the PS. #ParlamentoEuropeu #OrçamentoEuropeu #AçõesGovernamentais (translated)
The regulation allows four committees simultaneously, but Aguiar Branco advocates for maintaining the practice of two and has referred the decision to the leaders' conference, a position that the leader of Chega contests. #ParlamentoEuropeu #OrçamentoEuropeu #AçõesGovernamentais (translated)
