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...

House Democrats caution about going too far with Trump probes as 2020 prospects brightenHouse Democrats are showing little appetite to flex their investigative muscles in the final year of President Donald Trump's first term, with many eager to proceed cautiously and avoid overzealous probes that could backfire politically as their party now leads comfortably in the polls fewer than five months before the election. They’ve embarrassed themselves enough Trump’s sinking himself. Why bother. The way things are going, come election, it’ll still be the first wave. Kinda like everything they did in past 4 years?

COVID-19 Infection Rate In Rio's Favelas Far Exceeds Official Count, A New Study SaysThe number of people infected by the coronavirus in some of Brazil's poorest and most vulnerable neighborhoods could be 30 times higher than the officially registered count, according to researchers.
