Rui Rocha was Green powder During a rally in Lisbon by two group activists who appeared on the stage where he spoke, with a poster against fossil fuels.
“How are you?” Asked Rui Rocha to the protester who took the stage accompanied by another, in silence, who was holding behind the party leader a poster in which he read: “For our species not to be extinct, end to the fossil 2030.”

The protesters eventually covered the liberal leader with the green substance, with Rui Rocha turned calm and completely covered in green in the face and in the place where he spoke.
“This is the liberty house where everyone is entitled to talk, but we are also entitled to talk and have our choices! This is the house of freedom,” he said, while shooting his coat behind himself, not wanting to be cleaned by his team:
Rui Rocha is a gentleman!
“This is the House of Freedom, I grew up for my work, I grew up against everything and those who appeared here are not even the heaviest.”

Despite the calm demonstrated, a Liberal initiative has realized that it intends to file a complaint Against the two young activists who starred in the moment.
The case reminiscent of Luís Montenegro, who was by another climate activist in February last year to the entrance of the Lisbon Tourism Scholarship (BTL), where he moved in an election campaign.
The 19 -year -old college student was paying a fine of 1600 euros for spoiling the PSD president’s clothes and a CDS photographer.
