Presidential candidates in Portugal have condemned America’s intervention in Venezuela and its aggressive attitude towards Greenland.
This was the main topic of discussion when the candidates officially launched their campaigns on Sundy. Most of them described America’s actions, including the arrest of President Maduro, as a “violation of international law.”
Protesters have taken to the streets of Lisbon to denounce the US actions which they regard as entirely illegal. Slogans displayed during the protests included “Latin America is not the United States’ backyard.” Protesters have also demanded that President Trump pull back from his announced hopes in Greenland.
There is concern though some reassurances about the wellbeing of the Portuguese community in Venezuela.
AS for Trumps’s extraordinary wish to make Greenland part of the United States, this is strongly opposed by Portugal and the rest of the European NATO countries. Greenland is a part of the Kingdom of Denmark and only the Danish government and Greenland people can decide its future.
If Trump and his associates do not agree and illegally occupy Greenland, the future of NATO and security in the western world will be at stake.
On Tuesday, the Portuguese government signed a European declaration on Greenland’s autonomy and the need to maintain security in the Arctic following Trump’s threats.
