“438.81 euros is not even half the cost of an ‘outdoor’ that Chega has piled up throughout the country. 438.81 euros, the price of the fine, is the price of a peanut for André Ventura, who spits on an entire community for years and gets away with it ”, the deputy lamented today in a ‘post’ shared on the network social Facebook.
For Joacine Katar Moreira, this is the value of “inaction” and “not assuming racism as a struggle to fight in this society”, considering that the Chega leader “is an aggressor and cannot get away with his actions and racist and xenophobic comments, for more as an elected representative ”.
“Shame, your favorite word, is what you should have on your face and it is not. And I am also ashamed to know that all racist violence and misinformation costs 400 euros for this aggressor ”, he concluded.
The president of Chega, André Ventura, was fined today with 438.81 euros for discriminating against gypsies, in an August publication on the social network Facebook, the Commission for Equality and Against Racial Discrimination (CICDR) condemned.
According to the CICDR decision, to which Lusa had access, the only deputy from the far-right parliamentary party committed an administrative offense, punishable by a fine, for “discrimination based on harassment based on ethnic origin”.
André Ventura can still be heard or let the case go to the Public Ministry, which will or will not bring an accusation. In the worst case, a crime of racial discrimination is at stake, with a maximum penalty of five years in prison.
Ventura has constantly attacked the Roma community in Portugal and, on Monday, in an interview with TVI, even put it as a condition for the viability of a right-wing government to “resolve the Roma issue.”
Also in March, the Public Ministry launched an investigation into the Chega leader after André Ventura reacted at the end of January to a proposal by deputy Joacine Katar Moreira on the return of patrimony to the former Portuguese colonies with a message in his social website ‘facebook’, in which he proposed that “Mrs. Joacine herself be returned to her country of origin.”
