Chega’s deputy elected by Leiria, Gabriel Mita Ribeiro, who resigned as party vice president, guaranteed this Saturday that he would serve his term inside or outside the party and said he would start negotiations with President Chega.

The Chega MP resigned as party vice-president on Monday after resigning from André Ventura’s “temporary” position of research cabinet coordinator.
Gabriel Mita Ribeiro said today that he will meet with the chairman of the party and start negotiations in order to “find concrete common ground.”
“For now, I’m on the condition that we start talking, negotiating as soon as possible. I gave President Andre Ventura a very clear written text explaining and substantiating my position and presenting proposals for solutions,” the deputy added, considering that his departure from the cabinet was “a clear distrust on the part of the president” in his person.
The deputy insisted that “he would keep the mandate to the end, inside or outside the party.”
– It’s not even negotiable. I’m not in the mood for empty, purely abstract talks either. [André Ventura] was open for us to talk and that is not a problem. The question is whether these conversations will result in practical consequences,” the deputy stressed.
In view of the statements of Andre Ventura, who justified the departure of Mita Ribeiro by “restructuring”, the deputy confirmed that this “restructuring was planned”.

The deputy hopes that the situation “should be determined as soon as possible, before the start of parliamentary work” in order to “work calmly, regardless of the continuation of work in Chega’s deputy group.”
For the politician, Andre Ventura is “chiefly responsible for the main successes of the party, which is not even negotiable, but he is also the main culprit in postponing internal decisions that could seriously harm” Chege.
“We all know the symptoms: internal divisions, suspicions, exiles and conflicts,” he pointed out, defending Chega’s discovery “for independents and thinkers.”
The deputy also considered that Chega “is not just a leader’s party.”
“We are a collective identity, subject to moral primacy, personal responsibility,” he stressed.
Mita Ribeiro neither confirmed nor denied the alleged aggressions that occurred with his colleague on the bench.
“You can clarify this issue with the deputy you mentioned. We have the right to maintain our intimacy, dignity and privacy. The issue should be resolved at the internal level,” he replied.
