President Chegi criticized this Friday the “legacy of the PS and PSD” when it comes to women, considering that these parties have turned Portugal into “a country that is not for them” and left them “behind”.
“The women of this country on this Women’s Day must remember that if today they have a country that is not for them, it is thanks to the two parties that have governed Portugal for the last 50 years, the PS and the PSD.” , he said, arguing that the two parties have “left women behind.”
André Ventura spoke at a lunch/meeting in Costa da Caparica, municipality of Almada, which was also attended by the head of the list of the Setubal Circle, Rita Matias.
The Chegi leader, for example, claimed that in 2022, “three pregnant women were fired from companies every day” and that when it comes to pensions, women receive “43% less than men receive already meager pensions.” .
“The average pension that women receive is 381 euros. This should shame the whole country,” he said.
“This is the legacy of the PS, this is the legacy of the SDP,” he criticized, saying that the two parties “claimed that they were going to create a country with equal opportunities and rights,” but “they never corrected where this equality was most needed and yet punished women and families more, precisely from a work point of view.”
Andre Ventura said he would like PS Secretary General Pedro Nuno Santos to “tell him face to face that on issues of domestic violence, rape, sexual violence, pensions and salaries, they will do the job they have had to do for the past eight years old.” years.”
“I really hope that Portuguese women know about the place where PS and PSD have sent them over the past few years,” he said, urging women to vote.
In his speech, President Chegi also accused Pedro Nuno Santos of running away “like the devil runs from the cross” from a teacher who is sleeping in the car and whom I approached him this Friday on the street and considered that this situation “is a symbol of the greater and deeper shame of socialist rule.”
“I hope this teacher shows up on our street today because at least I can tell him we’re going to give him dignity so he doesn’t live in a van,” he said.
Andre Ventura also said that the PS leader “doesn’t care about teachers, women, policemen, nurses, businessmen, just like he doesn’t care about all those pensioners who have become poor over the past few years.”
“All they want to know is to desperately win this election to preserve the marijuana culture that has fueled this country for the last 50 years,” he criticized.
Ventura again has his sights set on winning the election, saying he has a “strong feeling” that it is possible. Although polls forecast Chegi’s rise, they keep the party as a third political force.
Chegi’s leader said “there is no other hypothesis”, repeating the idea that the PS and SDP “will be exactly the same” and called for a “very, very strong vote” for his party.
“For the first time in five decades, we can overcome the bipartisanship that stunts our economic growth, that swamps us with corruption and tramples on our rights,” he said, given that legislative elections this Sunday will be a “fight of the party.” against the whole system.”
Considering that “the chance of victory is closer than ever”, Andre Ventura said that the credit will go to “the Portuguese people, who woke up after 50 years atrophied under a center-left and left-wing dictatorship that has extinguished the critical spirit in Portugal.” .
Before the rally, Chega announced that it would file a complaint against youths from the Student Climate Strike who threw paint at the party’s national headquarters in Lisbon.
At the end of the rally, the head of the Setúbal list also mentioned this episode and noted that “the younger generation is not a caricature of climate activists, who are nothing more than a clear example of what useful idiots the left is.” “.
Rita Matias, leader of the Juventude Chega movement, also accused the left of looking at women “only as victims” and “never sending out a message of hope, a positive message.”
