André Ventura, the leader of Portugal’s far-right Chega party, recently claimed that the Dutch capital has banned meat adverts because they could be seen as offensive to Muslims.
In this post on X, Ventura published a video of himself reacting to a headline that says Amsterdam has prohibited such adverts in all public places, and he says in the clip that it shows Europe is descending into madness.
"Please see the point of insanity we're reaching, this is in Europe," Ventura says in the clip. "Meat adverts, for any kind of meat, are forbidden in public spaces because Muslims get offended because they supposedly don't eat meat and don't want anyone else to eat meat or see meat ads."
"Look at this, it's happening now in Europe," he continues. "If we don't stop this in time, this is going to eat us alive, it's going to make us disappear, it's going to make us be ruled over in the future. Wake up. This is in Holland, but soon it will be here in Portugal. Wake up."
While it is true that Amsterdam has banned meat adverts, it has nothing to do with not wanting to offend Muslims.
