Ventura wants prosecutors to investigate whether there was pressure from Russia in the case of activists

The president of Chega said this Thursday, in Santarém, that the Public Prosecutor's Office should investigate whether there was pressure for personal data of Russian activists to have been provided to Moscow and asked Fernando Medina to take "political consequences of this situation".

Get away from deniers: "We have great respect for the pandemic."

The leader of Chega, André Ventura, distanced himself this Wednesday from the deniers of covid-19, claiming that his party has "great respect for the pandemic", but indicates that the origins of the pandemic must be brought to light and looks to China for responsibilities. In an interview with TVI, Ventura categorically stated that he is not a denialist and pointed to the drop in domestic consumption to clarify that there is a climate of fear in “the weakest people”. Asked about the fact that he appeared in Parliament and in public demonstrations without a mask, the leader of Chega ironizes and uses a popular saying: If we were to say that we were deniers for not wearing a mask... who has never sinned should cast the first stone” .

Enough: André Ventura wants to “clean Portugal” and judge the left

The president of Chega promised this Saturday to "clean up Portugal" if he ever reaches the government and "holds responsibility" to the left "for what they did" to the country and the politicians who stole "to the bone". If with Passos Coelho there was a former prime minister arrested, perhaps with André Ventura there were several leftist leaders arrested in Portugal because they robbed this country to the core", said Ventura in the closing speech of the party's III National Congress, which ended today in Coimbra. In a violent attack on "left and extreme left", the leader and single deputy of Chega also affirmed that, if one day he has responsibilities, "he will call the left and extreme left to account for what they did to Portug...

PSD cancels presence at the closing of the Chega congress

This Sunday, the PSD canceled its presence at the closing of the Chega congress, taking place in Coimbra.

Medina: "On the right, everyone is dating André but wants Pedro"

The socialist leader Fernando Medina reduced this Friday the panorama of the Portuguese right to a set of "loves and dislikes", saying that "everyone is in love with André", although without assuming him, but "really desire Pedro". In front of an audience of socialist militants, at the Capitólio Theater in Lisbon, Fernando Medina sought to draw a demarcation line between the PS and the political forces on its right, starting from an analysis made in a humorous tone of what happened in the recent MEL (Movement Europe and Freedom) convention. An event that took place in Lisbon earlier this week and brought together the leaders of the PSD, Rui Rio, the CDS-PP, Francisco Rodrigues dos Santos, the Liberal Initiative, João Cotrim Figueiredo, and...

In front of the right, André Ventura assumes failures and asks "political blow" on the left

The president of Chega spoke this Wednesday at the Movement Europe and Freedom (MEL), an event that brings together the most different quarters of the Portuguese right, and which is taking place for the third time. In a speech marked by a division between right and left, André Ventura looked inside to ask for an outside attack. Turning directly to the audience, and criticizing the excess of "cordiality" in the face of the left's failures, André Ventura says that the opposite did not happen, and that the left was crushing the "cases" of the right, like submarines or Security Social. But the president of Chega went further, and said that "the fault of the right is not in power is ours", of the right itself. We have the most hypocritica...
