ANTI Immigration and Abortion Nationalist party wins seats in leftist Portuguese parliament

For 45 years, since the 1974 coup which brought down the single-party, conservative regime led by Mr. Oliveira Salazar that saw Portugal unscathed through the Second World War, Parliament in the westernmost European Country has been held by exclusively left-oriented parties. The Constitution itself, in its preamble, has for its doctrine “the road to a socialist society”, a unique case in the Western world and one of only eight on the planet along North Korea, Cuba, China and the like.

In fact, so widespread and immanent has become the presence of the Left, that until last year even the Christian Democrats (CDS) were known to support, or at least not oppose, the legalization of abortion that took place in 2007; mass immigration; a bankrupt Ponzi scheme of public welfare; and many other “modern” causes and quandaries.

School curricula, in the hands of deconstructivist public employees (of which there are 700.000) preach historic revisionism, gender ideology and moral relativism. Virtually every media outlet is in the hands of political parties or their proxies, mostly law firms, and control the airwaves in perfect Orwellian fashion. Gramsci would be proud of this creation.

The overall (State plus Corporate plus Household) debt of Portugal is 3rd highest in the developed world, yet the tiny coastal nation suffers its taxpayers, following a succession of corrupted center-left governments that ruled with impunity across the years, to pay among the highest prices in the EU for electricity and other utilities. The minimum wage is short of 600 euro per month.

The demographics of Portugal leave the thrice-bankrupt country in no better place: the age pyramid is more evocative of a rectangle, and birth rates at 1.2/1000 are well below the replacement rate of population, ominous of an inevitable Japanification. Collateral phenomena, like “pet culture” and urban hedonism, as well as free funded abortion, are of paramount contribution for this dreaded evolution. Yet, by decree of the unelected eurocrats, this parochial territory where taxpayers wait 1000 (one thousand) days on average for surgery in the national healthcare system and most areas, even if suburban, still have poor to none mass transit coverage, keeps importing migrants who bring only disease, crime and an even heavier burden on public treasuries.

Year after year, scandal after scandal, impunity after impunity, the electorate has developed an apathetic stance toward politics. A sizable slice of the newly graduated take to their feet and flee elsewhere, certain of an arid future if they stay. Again, for those who remain, neo-marxism lurks in every institution, every public department, every job interview. All in all, Portugal has been more akin to a Bolivarian republic than to a 21st century European nation.

Last weekend, however, things – just -may have begun to inch away from the stagnated anachronism that held rule for over four decades. At the latest general election, even though turnout rates were barely over 50% in line with the local norm, change for the better has finally arrived, although at a cost. In fact, three new parties have now elected representatives in the 230-strong Republican Assembly, which is still dominated by the socialists (38%), social-democrats (28%), trostkyist Left Bloc (9%), Communists (6%), PAN – Animal and Nature Party (4%) and CDS (4%). A qualified majority of 2/3 is required to amend the Constitution, which the combined lefts might now achieve.

What sheds a thin sliver of hope over this bleak scenery is the election of one single MP, by the Lisbon circle (Portuguese elections follow the D’Hondt method, which favors larger parties to the detriment of the smaller factions) for the newly formed party CHEGA (“Enough”) which came to be a mere five months ago. Mr. André Ventura (36), a former member of the rightmost wing of the social-democratic party and now founder and President of CHEGA, has indeed managed, almost single-handedly, to raise public awareness for the impending doom of our nation should leftism and the doctrine of thought control imposed by political correctness be allowed to pursue its relentless path of destruction.

The brutal machinery of propaganda controlled by the system, naturally, was swift to react dubbing Mr. Ventura and CHEGA as “fascists, xenophobes, mysoginists, and anti democratic”, which is odd to say the least, as he was democratically elected (but, maybe not by the “correct” democracy) and would even have garnered two more mandates, were it not for the fact that the D’Hondt method stripped his (and other) parties of more than half their direct proportion of representatives.

Mr. Ventura has had several uncanny displays of public courage by defending what the majority of Portuguese people, mostly ill-informed and poorly traveled persons, see as authoritarian measures: the end of taxpayers funded abortion; restrictions on mass immigration; a presidential regime where the PR can be more than a populist figurehead; chemical castration of pedophiles and sexual assaulters; and a ban on gender ideology in every State institution.

We can only hope that his election has not been in vain now that direr times seem to be upon us.
