Actress Inês Aires Pereira announced that she will not be participating in the Commedia a La Carte Fest, a festival held in Lisbon. The decision was made publicly and represents a departure from the event she was scheduled to attend.
In her statement, the actress explicitly expressed her solidarity with Palestine. This political position was the main reason given for her absence from the festival.
Inês Aires Pereira justified her decision by stating that she refuses to "normalize a genocide". This expression reflects her interpretation of the events in Palestine and her refusal to participate in activities she believes contribute to the normalization of such events.
The Commedia a La Carte Fest thus loses the actress's participation, who chose to prioritize her political stance on the Palestinian cause over her presence at the Lisbon event.
