Antifa is an integral part of the Culture of Death, dedicated to the destruction of Western Civilisation and all it stands for. They must be destroyed!

In the first documented Antifa attack on Portuguese soil, a young activist hurled a Molotov cocktail into a peaceful pro-life march in Lisbon.
On March 21st, Portugal hosted its March for Life. Organised by Catholic groups with the support of Pope Leo XVI, thousands marched through the streets of Lisbon and Porto against abortion and euthanasia.
Such marches have taken place before, but, as the years go by and parties like Chega incrementally grow, so do the numbers of participants.
The latest march came in the wake of significant victories by conservatives in parliament, led by Chega initiatives. Last November, parliament approved the banning of burqas and any other Islamic face coverings in public spaces, with the support of Chega (PfE), the Liberal Initiative (Renew) and PM Luís Montenegro’s ruling PSD (EPP), and on March 20th, the parliamentary Right once again joined forces to revert a law allowing gender reassignment treatments and surgeries in minors—although, this time, without the support of the liberals.
Montenegro’s PSD decided to rule alone in both 2024 and 2025, and its minority government has been forced to rely on shifting alliances in order to pass legislation in parliament. Since 2025, though, PSD appears to have realised that, in order to stem vote haemorrhaging to Chega on social issues, it needs to curtail woke stances to prevent Chega from using them as a platform against the government.
The Portuguese Left has suffered uninterrupted humiliations since the 2025 election, when — despite rallying behind the Socialist Party (PS) — the PS managed only third place in parliamentary seats, a historic first.
Perhaps for this reason, a young activist threw a Molotov cocktail straight into the crowd at the March for Life, where conservative MPs and families stood peacefully.
The device did not ignite, but several children were sprayed with gasoline. Police officers quickly apprehended the suspect who has been found to have connections to Antifa groups.
Violence against Chega is certainly not new: the party has faced weekly death threats, systematic vandalism of its campaign posters, the stoning of André Ventura, and repeated harassment of its members, among many other aggressive acts throughout the years. Yet, to deliberately target children in a March for Life, of all places, reaches new levels of depravity.
Much of the blame lies with mainstream media, who relish inciting hate against Chega and conservatives with biased and offensive commentary against the new Right.
Scrutiny will now fall on the newly appointed minister of internal affairs, who rose from director of the Criminal Police. His previous role was overshadowed by partisan comments dismissing links between immigration and crime, and by the introduction of an anti-radicalisation campaign aimed at online (right-wing) ‘hate speech.’
A truly catastrophic choice of timing by the PSD, especially given the recent events and the fact that this is one of the issues raised in an open letter from right-wing NGOs.
In the meantime, mainstream media has given the attack as little coverage as possible.
