André Ventura, who this afternoon already published a video on social media replacing the word “gypsies” with “censorship” on his posters, also denied that posters had been removed, speaking of a normal message replacement process.
On Monday, the court ordered Chega to remove all posters from André Ventura’s presidential campaign that target the gypsy community, setting a deadline of 24 hours for this to happen.
According to the sentence of the Local Civil Court of Lisbon, André Ventura was ordered to “remove, within 24 hours, all the posters he placed on public roads and in different locations across the country with the words “gypsies must comply with the law – André Ventura presidential 2026”.
Judge Ana Barão also ordered Ventura “to refrain from, in the future, determining or promoting, directly or indirectly, the posting of posters with identical or equivalent content”.
For each day of delay, for each poster that remains on the public street beyond the 24-hour period set by the court for removal, or for each new poster that may be placed, the leader of Chega will have to pay a fine of 2,500 euros, the sentence also ordered.
