Ventura considers the debate on abortion to be untimely and criticizes Passos Coelho

André Ventura, president of Chega, criticized Pedro Passos Coelho's public discussion on abortion, suggesting it distracts from pressing issues facing citizens. He emphasized the need for the right to be strategic in its focus, especially during a crisis where people are struggling with the cost of living. Ventura expressed admiration for Coelho but questioned the timing of the abortion debate, arguing that many are more concerned with immediate economic challenges. He asserted that discussing topics like minimum wage and infrastructure should take precedence over abortion, while rejecting any notion of aligning Chega with leftist agendas.
