Unlike the PCdoB, the party has a deputy, but is not in favor of celebrating the date: it wants to end the celebrations “as soon as there is a majority” on the left.
The Left Bloc announced this Wednesday that it wants to put an end to the November 25th celebration ceremony, an event that, according to the party, constitutes a “25 de Abril devaluation operation“, quote or .
The BE deputy, Fabien Figueiredoalso said, in statements to journalists in Parliament, that he intends to present a proposal for end the ceremony “as soon as there is a majority” left-wing.
The Bloc’s statements come at the same time as the, claiming that the introduction of the celebrations is a “provocative action”.
As , remembers, over several years, the CDS proposed a celebration of November 25th in Parliament. However, only this year, with a right-wing majority in Parliament — with 50 Chega deputies — was what he was able to see on the 25th of November.
Livre will also be present at the session, but “is opposed to the use of the 25th of November as a political throwing weapon”, says Público. The deputy Filipa Pinto told that celebrating November 25th “pushes” the PSD and CDS “to the extreme right” and “it makes no sense that the conservative right is claiming for itself a date that it had nothing to do with“.
The 25 de Abril Association has also already rejected participating in the ceremony which, according to Público, considers that the event “causes a huge and clear distortion of the events experienced on the path to fulfilling the MFA program [Movimento das Forças Armadas]”.
Already Ramalho Eanesformer President of the Republic and operational commander of 25 de Novembro, will be present at the event, according to Agência Lusa.
