Isabel Mendes Lopes commented on the launch of a book about a censorship motion, considering it "yet another episode of folklore" that "disrespects the time" of the Assembly of the Republic. The intervention emerges in the context of criticism of the Chega party's strategy.
The commentator accused Chega of "always riding the biggest controversy" with the objective of "occupying all media space". According to Mendes Lopes, this strategy prevents other topics that "truly concern the country" from being debated.
Mendes Lopes' criticism emerges within a broader debate about the political practices of the Chega party and its approach to media communication and institutional functioning.
