Nuno Melo defended this on October, October 6, that the activists of the Humanitarian Flotilha for Gaza “have already done their number” and should now dedicate themselves to the campaign for the municipalities.
After arrival in Portugal of the posts who participated in the Global Sumud flotilha and who were detained in Israel, including Mariana Mortágua, coordinator and sole deputy of the Left Bloc, the president of the CDs considered that they “did nothing from the humanitarian point of view.”
“I will not give this peditory anymore. The activists have already made their number, already stopped in Ibiza, already stopped in Tunisia, arrived in Israel, after two days have been returned home. They already did their pamphlet.
“I am focused on local autarchic, what matters to people. Winning mandates and, putting the CDS-PP at the service of the Portuguese people. This is what we are doing every day. Otherwise we do not have to contribute more to the pamphlet campaigns of the Left Bloc.
Also André Ventura, president of the arrival, in a campaign action in Setúbal, again criticized the Golbal Sumud flotilla, which considered “a clown made by those who should not have much to do”.
