'Portugal is a "follow the crowd"': Afonso Moura criticizes position regarding Israel

Now9 September 2026 at 13:34

The geopolitical analyst Afonso Moura criticized Portugal's position regarding Israel, comparing the country to a "follow the crowd" that follows the decisions of other nations without demonstrating its own autonomy.

According to Moura's analysis, the positions adopted by countries such as France, the United Kingdom, and Portugal fell short of what was expected in the context of the conflict.

The geopolitical analyst highlighted that Portugal failed to establish an independent stance, choosing instead to align with decisions made by other European powers.

The criticism comes at a time when the international community has been intensely debating diplomatic responses to the conflict in Gaza.

Montenegro considered that the country was confronted with a decrease in results in international assessment systems, with the most recent results approaching 2006 levels in the three subjects assessed, completely reversing gains previously achieved. The Government had previously rejected political responsibilities for the results, lamenting that they are "historical, but in the negative sense".
