French National Reunion party leader Marine Le Pen wrote on Twitter on Sunday that André Ventura’s re-election to Chega’s presidency bodes well for the presidential elections in Portugal. At this time, Ventura appears in second place in the polls, although all indicate that Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa will obtain a second term in the first round in January 2021.
Marine Le Pen, who will also seek to avoid the re-election of French President Emmanuel Macron in 2022, underlined the dimension of the victory of the founder and only deputy of Chega, who in the electoral act this Saturday obtained the support of 99.4%. [a líder da Reunião Nacional mencionou 99,1%, ligeiramente abaixo do resultado final] of the militants who attended the polling stations, with only 15 blank votes and seven invalid votes.
Congratulations to @AndreCVentura for his re-election as president of the @PartyCHEGA 99.1%!
What a good omen for the next presidential elections in Portugal 🇵🇹! MLP pic.twitter.com/B6eystiSGT– Marine Le Pen (@MLP_officiel) September 6, 2020
Ventura’s re-election sparked reactions from other leaders of the Identity and Democracy parties, the political family furthest to the right in the European Parliament, such as its president, Belgian MEP Gerolf Annemans.
Still unable to elect a deputy for Strasbourg in the 2019 European elections, Chega joined Identidad y Democracia at the beginning of this summer, awaiting the presence of a delegation from the group that brings together parties such as the National Meeting (France) and La Liga (Italy) at the II National Convention, which takes place on September 19 and 20 in Évora.
