Ventura says new Court of Auditors law will benefit Luís Neves and asks the President to veto it

The leader of the Chega party has called for the President to veto a legislative proposal reforming the Court of Auditors (TdC). The proposed law, which is expected to pass in Parliament, raises the threshold for mandatory prior approval of contracts to 7.5 million euros and limits financial sanctions for public managers to cases of intent or gross negligence, excluding mere negligence. While the party claims the changes are designed to absolve the current Minister of Internal Administration, Luís Neves, of alleged financial irregularities from his time at the Judicial Police, the Government has rejected this interpretation as factually false.
