The national coordinator of the Left Bloc, Mariana Mortagua, was the first party leader to respond to the attack by activists with paint on the candidate for Prime Minister Luis Montenegro, leader of the Democratic Alliance, this Wednesday at the Lisbon Tourist Exchange.
“Today’s attack on the SDP is an attack on freedom in the election campaign and, therefore, on democracy. If the authors of this action claim to have a just cause, then they are the worst defenders of this cause,” the blocker wrote on X (formerly Twitter). ).
Later, the leader of the Liberal Initiative, Rui Rocha, also reacted to X. The deputy believes that these actions legitimize “the most extremist forces in society.”
“Anyone who uses forms of protest that may harm physical integrity legitimizes the most extremist forces in society, contributing to attacks on democracy and freedom. This is unacceptable and counterproductive to the causes they claim to defend,” said Rui Rocha.
Montenegro was struck by the color when it was at the Lisbon Tourism Exchange, at the Lisbon International Fair. The activist was detained.
