The leader of the far-right party, while condemning the murder of the Ukrainian Ihor Homeniuk, compared this case to that of patients dying by medical error when treated in the NHS.
André Ventura says that he is fighting so that racist, xenophobic and fascist elements have no place in Chega, and that he has removed or expelled some of them, but that BE not so long ago.
Asked about his commitment to resign from the party leadership if he gets fewer votes than Ana Gomes, Ventura opted for a more vague formula, saying that he would draw the necessary consequences and wait for the party’s decision.
Attacking Cavaco Silva and Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, he affirmed that the President of the Republic cannot be a mere% u201C-cutter% u201D. For his part, he attacked the left-wing candidates for not wanting a government with Chega, and declared that he would cede possession to any government chosen by the Portuguese.
Faced with the Chega program, he denied that he wanted to do away with the National Health Service, but pointed to the long wait times on the NHS to defend the expansion of private healthcare.
