"The intimidation of the far-right is how they know how to be, and I am particularly concerned about the intimidation they do to women and minorities everywhere", said Catarina Martins, during a rally in Senhor de Matosinhos, in the district of Porto.
Questioned by journalists about the complaint made by PS deputy Isabel Moreira about misogynistic and racist insults by Chega deputies, Catarina Martins, who was also parliamentary leader of the Left Bloc, said she was not surprised by the statements.
Isabel Moreira reported to Observador insults such as "cow" directed at female deputies, said that these comments happen in the corridors or in the plenary, but with the "microphone closed", adding that "there is a daily hell, unbearable" of "permanent offense".
"When the far-right has an aggressive speech against women in parliament, make no mistake, that is just a small part of their intimidation speech. They have that speech every day", she said.
Also asked if parliament was an unsafe place for women, the head of the Left Bloc's European list simply stated that Chega's deputies "do not know how to behave anywhere".
Catarina Martins admitted, however, that she is particularly concerned about "the violent and hateful speech" that the far-right brings to society.
"I am concerned that the speech that has intimidation makes women more insecure in their lives, that is what worries me", she said, saying she is also concerned about the consequences of this speech on immigrants and the LGBTI community.
Asked if there had been any episode of insults in parliament, Catarina Martins said she was concerned about what Chega's deputies "do with all people and not just in parliament".
"The far-right's intimidation speech in parliament is nothing new, what is worrying is that this speech is in society as a whole", she said, saying it is necessary to "face" this speech.
As for the accusations of the socialist, Chega leader André Ventura today claimed that his parliamentary group is the "most attacked" and said that he has already greeted Isabel Moreira "several times" and had no response.
Ventura also challenged the socialist to present evidence of these behaviors.
"The atmosphere in parliament is the expression of what the Portuguese wanted, it is the fury that the Portuguese have against the system", he claimed, warning: "get used to it, because this intensity will continue to exist".
