Season 1
O Ódio Saiu do Armário
The political party that claims to be anti-system came to Parliament in the legislative elections of 2019. The parliamentary stage gave to André Ventura the visibility that the leader of “Chega!” needed to add disgruntled. The rise of the party transformed “Chega!” in a political and social phenomenon that aroused the interest of European counterparts.
Cifrões e Outros Demónios
In the second stop of the journey through the intricacies of the European extreme right parties, we present some of the people who gravitate towards André Ventura.
O Esqueleto Saiu do Armário
In this third part of the 'Grande Reportagem' investigation that takes you to the origin of the European far-right parties, we question the legacy left by the old dictators of Portugal, Spain and Italy.
O Padrinho, a Madrinha e o Vizinho Espanhol
This fourth episode shows the close relationships that André Ventura strives to maintain with Matteo Salvini, Marine Le Pen and Santiago Abascal. The leader of "Chega!" drinks the words and actions of each of the three, trying to replicate behaviors and speeches.
Cifrões e Outros Demónio – 2ª Edição
The fifth and final episode of this reporting series explores the ability of each leadership to find funding to feed the powerful and effective propaganda machines, plunging into the dark universe that fuels the policy of the "National Union", in France, the “Lega”, in Italy, “VOX” in Spain and “Chega!” in Portugal.
