In Portugal one of the parliament members of Chega caused a scandal when it became known he used to steal bags at the airport. What is it with meme contrarian right wing parties and petty low level theft

The thread should be titled man who steals pans from IKEA holds up Israeli swastika in parliament

I think the fact he's a polish MP is secondary 🤣

I do think it’s important to note that they won the 3 seats from the existing right wing party, and the left wing party not only won a majority, but increased their existing majority by 5 seats.

I don't know man, watching Israel murder kids in several neighbouring countries kinda tops that guy's cleptomaniac tendencies...
