Terrorism, the FDLPalestina and the <em>Avante!</em> Festival

Público28 August 2026 at 12:59

The article is an opinion piece by Domingos Lopes published in the context of the Avante! Festival, a festival associated with the Portuguese Communist Party. The text addresses the issue of terrorism and the FDLPalestina, referring to the FDLPalestina organization, which apparently has a presence or reference at the event.

The author presents a controversial political position by asserting that a State that occupies the territory of another country legitimizes the political-military struggle against that occupation. This thesis serves as the argumentative basis for his opinion on the Palestinian situation.

The article comes at a time of debate about the participation of Palestinian political organizations in events in Portugal, raising questions about the boundaries between liberation struggle and international terrorism.

The opinion of Domingos Lopes reflects a specific perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, positioning territorial occupation as a factor that justifies certain forms of armed resistance.

Livre respects Constitutional Court decision, but maintains criticism of asylum law

The Livre party announced that it respects the decision of the Constitutional Court that considered constitutional the norms of the diploma on granting asylum and return of foreigners, but reiterated its criticisms of the law. Deputy Paulo Muacho stated that the fact that the CC did not declare the law unconstitutional does not mean it is a good law, highlighting concerns about the possibility of detention and expulsion of migrant children. The party also believes there is room for political veto by the President of the Republic. The CC decision came after Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa requested preventive review of the decree approved by the Assembly of the Republic in July, which includes the extension of the temporary installation period to 180 days, possibility of separation of parents and children, and expulsion of minors.
