Ascenso Simões, former socialist deputy and former member of the 17th Constitutional Government, criticized a newly created conservative women's movement. His statements focused both on the ideas supposedly defended by the group and, more markedly, on its members.
The article states that Simões fired diatribes and blunders about the movement, suggesting that his criticisms were particularly directed at the people involved in the conservative group.
The episode occurs in the context of the creation of a new conservative women's movement, whose emergence prompted Simões's reaction through comments that the article classifies as direct attacks on the group's members.
