LISBON - Hundreds of protesters marched through one of Lisbon’s main avenues on Saturday shouting “Portugal is not racist”, in a demonstration organised by the leader of a far-right party known for his derogatory remarks against ethnic minorities.
In October, Ventura won the far right’s first seat in parliament since Portugal’s dictatorship ended in 1974. A month later, Ventura questioned if Porto striker Moussa Marega, who quit a soccer match in protest after being subjected to monkey chants and other insults, was a victim of racism.
To tell the truth then
Can anyone expain to me what kind of positions they have that actually made them far right?
I'm portuguese, not only was it not far right as it wasn't denying racism was a problem, it was a protest against the scums that called Portugal a racist country even though we were the first humans ever to abolish slavery and other incredible achievements against racism
You’re supposed to be objective- how can you claim that this was a problem? It was a great display
Far right
The real end to racism is by obliterating the symbols of racism of the past. Then to improve the heath, hygiene, education & economic status of the suffers of racial injustice. What happened in the past is past. It cannot be revisited. We should avoid counter racism by protesting
ImCuteAndFeisty I've born in Portugal and i can say that actually Portugal in the past was the first country to stay up against Slavery in Angola, fought against everything to end slavery and send love to the country. I don't know how or when this changed, but nowadays a lot things changed.
I hunt those mf racists
«Far right», priceless...😆
FrazaoPs What far right You guys have no clue on what you talking about
FrazaoPs The PEOPLE of Portugal are NOT far right. Are you crazy, Reuters? This is outrageous and you should be sued.
FrazaoPs just cause its not left, doesnt mean its far right. And the motif was to say 'PORTUGAL IS NOT RACIST' not to deny racism exists.
FrazaoPs It's not far right! Liars!
CatarinaDemony Precisamos de falar sobre isto de não colocar ~ em João
Seems Lisbon has some fine pork
looks like a bunch of fascists upset cause they aren’t getting all the attention from the blm movement 🙄🥺
Is this a Reuter’s opinion piece. If not ...
Far right? Evidence please
Oh geez.....another epidemic of stupid🤦🏻♀️😫😫😫
Break out the gas, rubber bullets and batons if they get violent.
The far right doesn't seem to realize that they are outnumbered.
WTF? 🤨 StopRacism BlackLivesMatter
This is a social engineering project by far left. They want certain terms like: racist, nazi etc. be labels for opposition. That way they do not need to have a dialogue with anyone, they do not need to accept logical or scientific explanation. They just say “you are a racist”.
Far right blocking the streets is a problem
Pathetic. There were about 50 people there. Surprised it's even being reported
Far left continues to write articles to make racism a problem.
Mr. Ventura is so dumb he doesn't realize he has a racial bias. Portugal was the first European nation to commercialize the African slave trade. Failing to return antiquities stolen during slavery is simply more racism.
Racism is never a problem from the racists' perspective.
sounds like its a problem
Yeah, fuck you
I guess WWII wasn’t as successful as we thought; these people should have been eliminated as part of that operation
Protesting in Kensington in London
Why is it the far right? Is it the far left who has been protesting?
Sick and tired of being accused by the very people who come to the west uninvited, take more than they give and slowly but steadily transform our cities into 3rd world dumps. Go back if you don't like us.
can someone just.. you know...
Good luck and solidarity with Lisbon antifa.
Brown far-right people lol... I thought you were talking about Pakistan once i saw the pic...
