Ventura presents motion for the next three years with the ambition to "reach the Government"

André Ventura is running for re-election as president of Chega, aiming to lead the party to government. He emphasizes the need for significant political change in Portugal, citing the party's growth from one to 60 parliamentary seats since its founding in 2019. Ventura outlines proposals addressing housing issues, including tax exemptions for home purchases and reduced VAT for construction. He also highlights the importance of immigration policies and fiscal contributions for healthcare access. Ventura claims that the party's identity values are under threat and positions Chega as a forward-looking party. The party's convention is scheduled for November 20-22, ahead of the 2027 state budget vote.
