The Portuguese Parliament received an official request for André Ventura to provide testimony in court, as part of a process related to the vandalism of his office. The request was formally communicated to the institution, which is responsible for managing attendance requests from deputies and political figures before the justice system.

The Chega leader has the possibility to choose between testifying in person or submitting a written statement. This flexibility is common in cases involving deputies with demanding parliamentary schedules, allowing them to reconcile political responsibilities with judicial obligations.

The case arises following the vandalism that hit André Ventura's office, an episode that reportedly prompted the opening of a judicial process to determine responsibilities. The specific circumstances of the act of vandalism were not detailed in the article, but the case proceeded to court with a request for testimony from the politician.

André Ventura, as leader of the third largest party in Portugal, remains available to cooperate with justice, and now it falls to the Assembly of the Republic to formally respond to the request and coordinate the terms of his attendance.
