Salazar and the resurgence of xenophobia and fascism in Portugal
(www.theweek.in)
So this happened in Portugal 😬
I found out only because I was searching for news about a piranha plant parade I saw on TV. In my search I saw that this shit happened and I’m fucking astounded! What the hell is happening?!
This is the parade I was trying to find info about if you’re curious:
There is no connection, they’re separate events. When I was looking up what the parade was about I typed in “Portugal piranha plant parade” and got nothing. When I searched “Portugal Mario Parade” the fascist one came up due to the main organizer being named Mario. I added the image for people who were curious about the parade I was initially looking for info about.
Oh OK. That piranha parade is probably because of carnaval. We have a city in here , where carnaval is the main event of the year. And that TV show is an entertainemnt show. Its normal see people with some customs from that shows
I didn’t realize Carnaval happened in the winter, I always thought it was a summer celebration! The more you know, I guess.
Carnaval is always celebrated in February or March. At least here and in Brazil it's like that. I don't know what it's like in other countries
Chalk that up to me being Canadian so whenever I see pictures of videos of carnival it looks like summer to me since February and March are snow filled up here.
