This case even led to a controversy between the Chega party and Mayor Álvaro Azevedo (PS). In his post on Facebook, the mayor of Moura never writes the name of André Ventura’s party, but makes allusions to “fascist propaganda”, “racism” and “xenophobia”. “I only ask one thing: that the difficulties and fascist propaganda never tolerate reason and the ability to realize that the path we have to travel must be demanding and never resort to hatred,” he writes.

Among the various issues that he mentions as criticized by Chega, Álvaro Azevedo comments on the public support that the municipality has given Roma families to buy food and a pharmacy. “The Moura City Council supported 21 Roma families. Of these, only 5 are to pay their expenses and, sure, they will, “he says.

The mayor points out that other “15 non-Roma families” received the same type of support and that they also have “small situations to regularize. Regarding this matter, we are talking. All the people have been regularizing the situations and it does not seem decent to me that this fact deserves to be hated ”, he concludes.
