Mariana Mortagua criticizes the “rivers of money” flowing from millionaires to Chega and Illinois

BE coordinator Mariana Mortagua noted this Saturday that one aspect of the “right-wing cavalcade” and “political mutation” of these elections is the “rivers of money that flow from the coffers of millionaires” to parties such as Chega and IL.

In a speech during a lunchtime rally in Boliqueim, Faro district, the BE leader left warnings about the March 10 legislative elections as she believed it was “the most contentious election in recent years and also the most polluted by lies and hatred.” “.

“But there is another side to this right-wing cavalcade, which is much more secretive and for this reason no less insidious. These are rivers of money, rivers of money like we have never seen, flowing from the coffers of millionaires into right-wing countries. -parties, including “Chega” and “Liberal Initiative,” he criticized.

Mortagua resumed the debate with Andre Ventura, saying that the leader of Chegi did not explain “why he spoke about TAP in the Assembly of the Republic without ever saying that he received money from the private shareholders of the airline or why he spoke about CTT” and never said that he received money from private shareholders of this company.

“And add real estate, add finance, add former agents of Grupo Espirito Santo and the Vale de Lobo business, which you know well, and you get an octopus of financiers for Chega and the far right,” he accused.

This octopus, according to the leader of the bloc, is the one “that pays IL,” a party that, in the presentation of its election program, had “the person in charge and the president of the largest private health groups who said that health was the best offer.” XXI century”.

“IL received the money directly from the president of EDP, and in two years two businessmen transferred the sum of 600 thousand euros to his training institute,” he added.

According to Mortagua, “money is flowing into client parties” and “millionaires have opened the floodgates to finance right-wing parties.”

“And this is one of the most striking features of this campaign and the political changes that we are experiencing,” he emphasized.

Regarding the “lies and hatred” she sees in this campaign, the BE leader believes that “Trump and Bolsonaro are leading by example and are being emulated by the national far right.”

“There are others who are looking for their models in the policy of austerity, in the policy of economic liberalization, but everyone – liberals, say Chega, Chega and all the right – want the same thing,” he emphasized.

Mortagua accused these parties of wanting to “capture the state for medical companies, hand over cities to tourism, turn cities into Disneylands that serve for speculation, that serve those who do not live, but are impossible for those who do.” for those who work in this country and in this region.”
