Cartoon by Zez Vaz depicting three portraits of Mary on the floor, with a cross on top of their eyes, mouth and ears.

🇬🇧 An alleged break-in at the Portuguese far-right Chega party’s office inside Parliament is still under investigation. The party itself published a video showing the ransacked office, prominently featuring a religious image of the Virgin Mary - a rather convenient photo-op that inspired this cartoon. As Chega now seems keen to let the story quietly disappear, the crime still needs to be properly investigated.
