🚨🇵🇹 PORTUGAL FANS ARE SPEAKING OUT FOR CRISTIANO RONALDO!
Supporters are reportedly protesting over how Cristiano Ronaldo has been treated following his dramatic departure from the Portugal camp.
After everything CR7 has given to the national team, many fans believe his situation deserved a different level of respect. 🐐🇵🇹
From the camp controversy to his No.7 being handed to Rafael Leão… emotions are running high.
CRISTIANO RONALDO IS MORE THAN JUST A PLAYER TO PORTUGAL. ❤️🇵🇹
Após a conferência de imprensa do Selecionador Nacional, e no seguimento de uma conversa com o Presidente da Federação Portuguesa de Futebol, tomei a decisão de deixar o estágio da Seleção Nacional.
A seu tempo, direi a verdade a todos os Portugueses sobre as razões que motivaram a minha saída da equipa nacional, à qual sempre me dediquei.
Agora é tempo de desejar boa sorte a Portugal e a todos os meus companheiros de equipa, sem exceção.
The EPP Group has nominated lawyer, human rights activist and politician Mr Tundu Lissu as a candidate for the Sakharov Prize.
After surviving a 2017 assassination attempt, Mr Lissu returned to Tanzania to continue advocating democratic reform, only to face arrest, treason charges and exclusion from the 2025 presidential election, while his party was barred from participating.
His case reflects the wider erosion of democratic pluralism and political competition in Tanzania.
For the EPP Group, Mr Lissu represents a powerful combination of personal courage, democratic conviction and geopolitical relevance. His nomination affirms that Europe stands with those defending constitutional democracy and political freedom in Africa and in other partner countries of the EU. Mr Lissu embodies the defence of democracy, political pluralism, the rule of law and fundamental freedoms at extraordinary personal cost.
The Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought is the highest tribute paid by the European Union to human rights work.
