Arm wrestling in Parliament. Ventura does not give up a vice president of Chega in Parliament
According to the Parliamentary rules, the 4 most voted parties have the right to nominate deputy speakers in Parliament. As CHEGA, after last Sunday's election, is the 3rd largest party, they have the right to nominate someone. But, the left parties, PS, BE and PCP, are not willing, as of now, to elect a CHEGA deputy speaker. Ventura is already playing the "victim card" and is saying that no one would understand a block to the election of a CHEGA MP. In a statement after his audience with President Marcelo, Ventura added that he hopes that the reports are only "dust controversies", and that his party will not abdicate from the post. The election of the Speaker and the Deputy Speakers is conducted by secret ballot.
