 It seems that there are some interesting political developments in Portugal!

To summarize:

* Ventura, the leader of Chega (a right-wing party), has vowed to vote against the Organic Law (OE) proposal in the Parliament.
* He has assured that his vote is "irrevocable" and will not be changed.
* Meanwhile, the leader of Chega has advised Montenegro, another politician, to move towards the left. Despite this, he claims that Chega will still contribute proposals if the OE goes to specialty (a stage in the legislative process).
* However, it appears that the party is intentionally staying out of the equation for the OE's approval in the general assembly.

It's fascinating to see how politics can be complex and nuanced!
