Portuguese Parliament Votes in Favor of Resolution Recognizing the Palestinian Nakba

The Portuguese parliament voted by a majority in favor of a resolution recognizing the Nakba that befell the Palestinian people in 1948, praising their struggle for the right to self-determination in a progressive move from a European country. The resolution condemns the Israeli occupation policies characterized by illegal expansion and annexation contrary to international laws, and calls on the Portuguese government to take a clear and explicit stance in defending the rights of the Palestinian people as outlined in international norms and laws. The parties voting in favor of the resolution include the Socialist Party (PS), the Communist Party (PCP), and the Left Bloc (BE), while both the Social Democratic Party (PSD) and the far-right party "Enough" (CHEGA) voted against it.
