In a New Year's message released by the party's advisor, the leader of Chega highlighted electoral challenges, such as the municipal and possibly regional legislative elections in Madeira, and said that “the objective is always one, to end this system, to change the country once and for all.”
“The year 2025 brings this opportunity, but we cannot miss it”, he highlighted.
André Ventura predicted that 2025 “will be a year of challenges and a year of changes” and “it must also be the year of definitive affirmation as an alternative party”.
“I feel that the year 2025 will be our year, I feel that it will be our year of definitive affirmation and definitive creation of an alternative”, he said, arguing that “the country needs an alternative”.
“This corrupt system has to end, this uncontrolled immigration system has to end, this destruction of our identity has to end, this system of privileges for some has to end,” he added.
The president of Chega pointed out that “these are the struggles” of the party in 2025 and, although some have also been from other years, “next year will be even more strongly the year of definitive affirmation” for a party that “has changed everything in the Portuguese reality of recent years”.
“We have to come with even more strength, with more determination, with more pace to change the country we live in,” he said.
In 2025, Ventura also wants to “continue showing that the left does not own the streets”.
Portugal tried his ideas under Salazar.
Not that many people want to go back.
