Climate activists in protest action
“Since the 70’s that there is no radical left in our country” – was Carlos Coins talking about climate activists?
“In a four -day space there were several manifestations of hatred“.
Sara Barros Leitão He was analyzing the attacks that accumulated on June 10th and the following days: Actor Adérito Lopes was beaten by a far-right group in, Neonazis volunteered and police in the Neonazi cell leader was accused of barbarking an anti-fascist core leader.
The actress, director and activist began to remember that the government decided to remove the chapter that talked about the dangers and violence of the far right in the annual internal security report. It understands that it is “sensitive and even confidential matter” but I liked to have a justification.
In the midst of this, Carlos Coins made some “inconceivable statements” when he said he is Very concerned about the right extremisms, but also those on the left.
“It was missing to answer What are the extremisms of the left that in Portugal make someone feel afraid or threatened, since Since the 70s that there is no radical left in our country“Says Sara, na.
“Was it really referring to climatic activists, How did some commentators who defend your thesis exemplified? Or do you think the Threat and danger are people asking for housing, social justice…?“, question.
Sara Barros Leitão also leaves a political warning: “The legitimation of hate speech in the public space also has a political guardian: the President of the Assembly of the Republic, José Pedro Aguiar-Branco“.
Because, it claims, Aguiar-White “Allows all kinds of offenses and insultswhich are directed in particular by the far-right parliamentary group, to deputies for their sexual, party orientation, skin color, face, appearance or even disability. All this, may it be given in the house of democracy – If so, how can it not be on the street?” – New question.
The author also recalls that this violence of hate and far right Not newIt has always existed: “It was only a matter of time until this daily and constant violence to certain groups of society is no longer shy and attacking without shame.”
“The booklet is written, just read what the history books say.”
