Mariana Mortagua, BE MP, said this Monday that the legal proceedings that were directed against her, namely against Chega, “will continue to raise the tone and level” for being a woman, a “lesbian” or “daughter of the anti-fascist resistance” . In an interview with SIC Notícias, the blocker MP mentioned three lawsuits in which she was the target: one by Global Media owner Marco Galigni and two by a “prominent member of Chega”. The deputy said that the first trial was connected with the fact that she accused her partner Marco Galigni of being a “Russian oligarch”.
Remember that in 2018, Mariana Mortagua tweeted that “the day will come when being a minister and a woman, a minister and a lesbian will be indifferent. We haven’t arrived yet.” On this Monday live, Mariana Mortagua suggested that she was also being criticized for her sexuality.
