Life

In 2001 he joined the Partido Social Democrata , for which he was elected as the top candidate for the city council of Loures in the north of Lisbon in 2017 . However, he resigned this office, resigned from the PSD and founded Chega on April 9, 2019 .

In the European elections on May 26, 2019 , he was the top candidate of the three-party Basta coalition , consisting of Chega, Partido Popular Monárquico and Partido Cidadania e Democracia Cristã . The 49,496 votes, or 1.49% of the votes, were not enough for a mandate and the special-purpose coalition was dissolved again.

In the parliamentary elections on October 6, 2019 , top candidate Ventura was elected to the Assembleia da República , the parliament of Portugal, in the Lisbon constituency.
