André Ventura invited Judge Rui Teixeira, who led the investigation of the Casa Pia case, to be the mandate and coordinator of his electoral campaign for the presidential elections.
In an open letter to the magistrate, the candidate for the presidency and leader of Chega considers that Ana Gomes’ invitation to Paulo Pedroso to coordinate his campaign in Belém is an “injustice” and speaks of a “political and social whitewashing” of the former Labor Minister .
“There are moments in life when silence is the best weapon against indignity. I know it is so. But there are others in which we cannot remain silent in the face of so much injustice: Ana Gomes’ invitation to Paulo Pedroso to coordinate her presidential campaign, being one of the main candidates for the highest office in the Nation, is not only a political .
Ventura points out that by speaking he runs the “risk of being accused of political exploitation”, but points out that it is time to be firm and not give in “to the illegitimate attempts to launder money against those who represent the rottenness of the Portuguese political system.”
“All Portuguese know – and listen to – the influences that moved behind the scenes to condition the evolution of the Casa Pia process. Everyone knew of the shameful pedophile ring that involved Portuguese celebrities, businessmen and politicians, some of them with particular dominance in the Portuguese political landscape of the 21st century. Paulo Pedroso is one of those names. His decision to coordinate the presidential campaign is simultaneously an offense for all Portuguese, as well as a direct attack on the Portuguese judicial and police institutions ”, adds the candidate from Belém.
In the same letter, the Chega leader points out that Judge Rui Teixeira “had the difficult task of being an investigating judge in this ignominious process” and “felt, like Judge Carlos Alexandre, the consequences of facing the Portuguese political system.” , having already been “enough punished, to still have to see Paulo Pedroso coordinate the campaign for the highest magistrate of the Nation.”
In this way, Ventura invites the judge to be the agent and coordinator of his electoral campaign.
Therefore, I want to publicly invite Judge Rui Teixeira to be the mandate and coordinator of my electoral campaign for the presidential elections of 2021 ”, he reads.
“The securities are not for sale. And they cannot be questioned for the attempts to obtain political favors or to whitewash politicians in this corrupt and rotten political system that continues to destroy Portugal, ”concludes Ventura.
It is recalled that the former Minister of Labor Paulo Pedroso was charged in the Casa Pia process for sexual abuse of minors, having been accused, even while being detained in the Assembly of the Republic, having been suspended from the position of deputy.
Subsequently, in 2006, already in the investigation phase of the process, the Criminal Investigation Court determined that there was no reason to take Pedroso to trial.
But this is not the first time that André Ventura criticizes the election of Ana Gomes. After the candidate invited Paulo Pedroso to be part of the organizational structure of his campaign, the Chega leader rushed to attack the former Socialist MEP, saying that he is the “candidate Casa Pia”.
Ana Gomes did not leave the Chega leader without an answer. Although he did not mention Ventura’s name, the message he posted on Twitter was clearly directed at him. “Good morning. On the latest fascist adventures and adventures, it is to follow the advice of Michelle Obama:” when they play low, the more we play high … “, wrote Ana Gomes on Twitter.
