The Commission for Equality and Against Racial Discrimination (CICDR) believes that André Ventura was the author of a “hate speech” when he ruled on a case related to a Roma family without evidence, reveals this Tuesday the Mail in the morning.
“This same week, a Roma family beat a nurse and a security guard at Beja hospital. RTP was silent. When the attacks in Coimbra occurred, the main public media refused to mention the ethnicity of the attackers. It is becoming an obsession, a taboo. It is easier and more “fashionable” to call those who insist on talking about the problem racists. Inadmissible, we all pay the RTP! “Wrote the then leader of Chega.
The Commission for Equality and Against Racial Discrimination (CICDR) considers that these statements induce a “chain of stigmatization and reinforcement of prejudices”. An “offensive and humiliating association” is made and the statements are “instigating and promoting hate speech,” says that commission.
