This Wednesday, Meta decided to lift the 10-year restriction on Chegi’s Facebook account. Andre Ventura, Chega’s leader, says they are “obviously happy to restore the page” but this situation “cannot happen again.”
“This is one of the largest political parties in Portugal and it requires daily communication with the Portuguese. Facebook must have mechanisms in place to quickly reverse unfair decisions,” he says.
Let us recall that Chege was prohibited from publishing images, videos or direct messages, as well as other actions, for 10 years. The third political force of the Assembly of the Republic promised to carry out “the largest action that has ever existed in Portugal against Meta”, and Chega decided to support this action.
“In any case, we will support the legal action, since the page of the party chairman remains closed without any reason,” they say.
Meta did not explain the decision to limit the party, but it was about the publication on Chegi’s page of a video about the recent case of a woman who, accompanied by seven family members, attacked her mother and cut her hair in order to kidnap her two minor daughters. who, by court decision, were under the guardianship of their grandmother.
The video posted by Chega on Facebook, which was the basis for Meta’s decision to limit the party’s activities on the social network, repeats these images, interspersed with Andre Ventura’s speech in Parliament, where he states that “in many episodes of violence in Portugal, much of the terror caused our population, the Portuguese know that one of our biggest problems is with the Roma community.”
