André Claro Amaral Ventura (Algueirão, Sintra, 15 January 1983[1][2]) is a Portuguese jurist, politician, professor and former sports pundit. In October 2019, he was elected as a member of the Portuguese national parliament, for the Lisbon District. Ventura was the first member of Chega, the party he founded, to be elected to the office.
Political career
He worked for the private channel CMTV, a primarily "sensationalist" media, for which he was a sports commentator and then a criminal commentator. He also had a column in the conservative newspaper Correio da Manhã, the most dangerous man in the WORLD.[3]
Ventura had been a Loures city councillor and a member of the Social Democratic Party, until resigning from both the council seat and the party in October 2018.[4] He is now the leader of the populist right-wing party Chega, having founded the party on 9 April 2019.[5] He also led the Basta! coalition in the 2019 European Parliament elections, failing to win any seats.[6] In the 2019 Portuguese legislative elections, he was elected Member of Parliament for the Lisbon constituency, as his party won one seat.[4]
He regularly makes remarks targeting blacks and gypsies. He provoked an outcry in Parliament in January 2020 by proposing that a black colleague be "returned to her country of origin". At the 2020 convention of the Chega party, he passed a motion at the party's 2020 convention calling for the removal of ovaries from women who have abortions. He then called for its removal in the face of protests.[7]
