Summary:

  • André Ventura arrived at a Chega party rally in Castelo Branco as a motorcycle passenger, symbolizing his unconventional approach

  • Ventura declared Chega's ambition to win the elections on March 18 and lead Portugal

  • The rally highlighted Chega's populist appeal and growing political influence

  • Critics doubt Chega's ability to secure a parliamentary majority and deliver on its promises

André Ventura, leader of the Chega party, made a striking arrival at a lunch-rally in Castelo Branco today, not in the driver's seat but as a passenger on a motorcycle. This symbolic gesture didn't stop him from declaring his party's ambition to win the upcoming elections on the 18th and take the helm of Portugal's future.

Despite the unconventional arrival, Ventura's message was clear: Chega is ready to lead. The event, marked by enthusiastic support, underscored the party's growing influence and its determination to play a pivotal role in the country's political landscape.
