We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Multiple corruption scandals fuel support for populist Chega party led by André Ventura

Portugal’s two-week general election campaign has officially begun with centre-right and centre-left parties leading in the polls, but a far-right populist forecast to collect almost a fifth of the vote is a further sign of Europe’s nativist drift.

Why should we Europeans allow people who shit on our values and way of life to live among us?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I agree

We should not tolerate fascism.

Why is it fascist to want to live among people who respect my culture, values, and traditions. All things which these immigrants have proven they do not. How many schoolteachers need to be decapitated? How many more people should get humiliation robbed? How many more girls should become prey to grooming gangs?

Kick them out.

Im saying we should not tolerate fascism because those people do not respect our culture, values and traditions. So I definitely agree that we should kick them out.

Shutting every complaint down with ‘racist’, ‘fascist’, ‘nazi’ etc. is why far right parties are rising. It is time to stop acting like middle schoolers and allow people to voice concerns and have debate, lest they vote far right as the only alternative. Nobody wants that.

Mate, far right parties, especially in Portugal want anything but debate. Their whole message is to pollute discussion and make the extremes normal.

A lot of people vote for them as protest but also a lot of people like their racist, fascist rethoric and goals. This is not a “them poor misunderstood far right parties”.

Fortunately no party is collaborating with them so their biggest impact is making sure that a right government can’t really govern.

That being said, every party has their blame in this by not solving problems or improving people’s lives as much as they should have. Another way to fight this is by having proper alternatives that people believe in but that’s easier said than done.

Far-right wouldn't win. Poland just PiSsed off the PiS party. At least TVP is airing anti-PiS stuff unlike under the previous government, which TVP was a mouthpiece.

We’re talking about Portugal here, not Poland. But yes they won’t win. It’s still problematic

Socialism would be better for the future of Europe.

'Criticizing fascism only drives people to the right!' is fucking horseshit - and the clearest possible illustration that bad faith has no right answer. Play along? They lie, they cheat, they win. Call that out? Oh! Look at how we are prosecuted! All you can do is accuse us of being bastards! No possible way that you just are being bastards, huh? Not like facts could prove those problems are real?!
