PS Secretary-General Pedro Nuno Santos on Tuesday said it was time for Portugal to “immediately” recognize the State of Palestine, believing it would be an “important political signal” and contribution to peace in the Middle East. .
At the beginning of his speech at a European rally in Guimarães, Pedro Nuno Santos pointed to a Palestinian flag that was placed on a balcony in a square in the center of Guimarães.
“At this difficult time in the lives of all Palestinians, it is important that we remain consistent. If we defend the existence of two states, we cannot stop at recognizing only one of the two states. We must also immediately recognize the State of Palestine. “, he said.
According to the PS leader, Portugal should join “Spain and other countries that have already done so and have already recognized the state of Palestine,” which is an action “against moral duplicity.”
“The time has come for Portugal to take this step, this is an important political signal that we must give to the world, which we owe to Israel, this is the contribution we can make to peace in the Middle East,” he said.
This moment received a standing ovation from those present at the open meeting.
