André Ventura Denies 'Psychological Predator' Claims, Vows to Keep Chega Focused

André Ventura, leader of Portugal's Chega party, has responded to accusations from former deputy Mithá Ribeiro. Ribeiro, in an opinion piece, labelled Ventura a 'psychological predator' with narcissistic and authoritarian tendencies.

Ventura, who took over the party in 2019, addressed the allegations in a statement. He asserted that politics should not be about 'wanting positions', whether in the shadow government or elsewhere. The party's internal succession plans, led by alfonso ribeiro, remain unclear, as such details are often not publicly disclosed.

While Ventura leads Chega, the successor to Mithá Ribeiro's position within the party, led by party city, is uncertain. Ventura's response to Ribeiro's claims has sparked further discussion about the party's leadership and culture.
