The Bloco de Esquerda this Saturday in Famalicão is one of the four decentralized initiatives by the districts of Viseu, Braga, Setúbal and Porto that will be the party’s rentrée, organized with fewer people to replace the usual Socialism Forum, canceled due to the pandemic.
According to information advanced to the Lusa agency by an official source of the BE, the four actions count on the intervention of the blocking coordinator, Catarina Martins, with the start this evening, in Viseu, at the opening of the “Sementeira” initiative.
“The Bloco de Esquerda, over the past few months, has adapted its activity in line with the evolution of the pandemic, in order to guarantee health security conditions. As is public, the Socialism Forum, an initiative that brings together hundreds of people every year to mark the Block’s rentrée, will not be held this year ”, explains the same source.
Thus, the blockers opted for initiatives with “a smaller number of people” and decentralized in several districts.
“Even if there is a change in the format of the initiatives, due to the imposition of the covid-19 pandemic, rentrée interventions will, as usual, affect the Bloc’s priorities for the country,” adds the same source.
Among these priorities is the response to the social situation that the country is experiencing, the protection of those who are most vulnerable and those who ensure care in response to the pandemic.
In the publication announcing tonight’s initiative in Viseu, on the Facebook page of the Left.net, it is stated that “admission is free, but limited”, and the seating can be guaranteed by mail or phone.
“The space will have a distance between people, with the cleaning of all places and alcohol gel for disinfecting hands”, he also guarantees.
After Viseu, Saturday is the turn of Vila Nova de Famalicão, followed by, on the other weekend, Setúbal and Porto.
