The sound of bass drums sets the rhythm for the Bloco de Esquerda rally that will take place this Wednesday in Loures. For half an hour, Mariana Mortagua checked the pulse of voters, and between kisses and complaints from those she met on the street, the candidate did not deviate from current affairs. Abortion was one of the topics he spoke about, recalling that it was an achievement of the left.
“There is not a single party of the parliamentary right wing that would dare to question a law that was an achievement for women, that implements the achievement of the left in Portugal, and a law that protects women in access to abortion,” recalled the leader of the Bloc. de Esquerda, who also stressed that “abortion is the third leading cause of death for women in Portugal, and women are being tried because of an unfair law.” “This will not happen again. This law will not go back.” “We will not back down from a country that does not accept that abortion laws are being questioned,” he warned.
This Thursday will be a day between the action in Lisbon and Leiria.
