Since Thursday it is known that António Costa would receive the delegations of the Left Bloc, PAN, PEV, Liberal Initiative and Chega this Saturday in São Bento.

On the first of the two days of the visit to Portugal, Le Pen held a press conference with Ventura at a hotel in Lisbon. The lack of distance and the excess of people in a small room to host the event led to the departure of several journalists in protest, even before the conference began. A visit to the Monument to the Heroes of the Great War, on Avenida da Liberdade, followed, where the two leaders laid a wreath.
