Was it a yes no vote, with abstention not an option?
>In their statement, the Portuguese Communist Party members accused the
European Union and NATO of supporting a coup d’etat in Ukraine in 2014,
described the Russian invasion as a “military intervention” and echoed
the Kremlin’s line that Ukraine was controlled by fascist forces. It
accused NATO and the EU – although, notably, not Moscow – of
“war-mongering”.
Oof, I am the one that usually defends the PCP when people call them far-left, or say that far-right and far-left is the same, although I never voted for them. But this is a complete disregard for human lives and I will never forget this position.
Funny how it’s the communists refusing to denounce the brutal military invasion of a totalitarian dictatorship. Keep being classy, guys.
