DW, disgusting lies and propaganda.
The answer to the question, unfortunately, is absolutely yes.
First, Portugal never had a fascist regime. Portugal had an autocratic right wing dictatorship characterized by traditionalism and corporativism.
It lacked the key traits of fascism like militarism, mass popular mobilization and socialist economic rhetoric and praxis.
It was obviously influenced by fascism in the pre-war period, but that’s it.
Second, the Salazar nostalgia party is called Ergue-te, look it up. Chega’s economic model is centrist, even left of center, and its social agenda is no different than any truly Conservative party.
It focuses on things like immigration control, family policy, traditionalist education etc.
Your bias is visible from the get go. Do better.
Inside crazy leftist media: Has DW forgotten the consequences of massive immigration?
Clowns 😆🤣😂😅
leftist media seems to have forgotten there is an option in between fascism and leftism: its called right wing conservatism. Mainstream media wants to perpetuate the hegemony of leftist social democracy by fallaciously equating right wing conservatism with fascism. Churchill, De Gaulle, Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, those politicians were not fascists, they were right wing conservatives and we want them back. Leftist social democracy is destroying Europe
Sort out your own Greens and Liberals. Fascism doesn't only manifest on the right. And while you're at it, have the bollocks to stand up to the US.
Ask DW..they are the ones behaving like "fascists" not respecting peoples democratic right to elect who they please
Why does the left always claim "right wing populists" are "authoritarian"? Its the left who actually behaves authoritarian
Why do they say "oppose womans rights"?
They people dont want "authoritarianism" they want to stop the elites imposing radical left wing policies, out of control immigration & crime
Maybe people rejecting current system is because the elites keep pushing policies that harm the majority of people..stop claiming its because they want "authoritarianism"
Its not about "memories" but current "realities"
Oh please… every country on the planet has forgotten the lesson of fascism
'The lessons of fascism'
Well, the first lesson should be that compared to nazism and communism 'fascism' is rather benign.
The second lesson would be that the term 'fascism' has been so abused that it has lost all meaning. Calling someone or something 'fascist' is as meaningful in itself as ruSSian boss Putin calling his victims 'nazis'.
The third lesson should be that the opponents of 'fascism' are not only generally worse than those they pretend to oppose they ARE what they oppose. Recent examples would be the antifa/BLM 'nazis'. But an example from my country (Belgium/Flanders) would be the actions taken by the 'responsible' government parties after the 'Black Sunday' elections of 1991, basically thought-crime laws, exception laws, the government deciding what the public should know (like crime statistics) and imposed one-way 'anti'-racism, basically a kind of 'fascism'.
The fourth lesson, a historical one, would be that 'fascism' was chosen as the be and end all of 'evil' because the Western Allies caved in to 'Uncle Joe' (Stalin) and decided to pretend he wasn't as big a criminal as Hitler.
As for the other lessons? Who cares. I'm not looking for a 'Duce'
It's not fascism. It's not far-right. It's not people unhappy with democracy. It's actually the opposite, democracy is working. People found a party that they see their proposals, they see how it doesn't deny a proposal just cause it's from a different party, and that is trying to clear our country from corruption and OBVIOUSLY they want that. The dude is just repeating what the left wing parties say all the time, and since people are only exposed to their opinion, and don't watch debates, interviews and read their proposals and the things they do in the parlament, they end up believing in that BS. You can only trully understand what's going on in Portugal if you do what I just said and learn about economy, otherwise you'll most likely just be listening to people's opinions, which, a lot of times, is biased and full of plain out lies
Has Europe forgotten the lessons of fascism? Or it is just European fascism is good fascism?
The fascists of Portugal were one of the founders of NATO fascist organization, NAFO.
