Release from the PCP Press Office

On the use of the Lajes Base to supply weapons to Israel

The PCP considers it intolerable that F35 aircraft sold by the US to Israel have used the Lajes Base as a stopover.

The PCP also notes the argument put forward by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, casting responsibility on the Ministry of Defence, thus highlighting the Portuguese Government's lack of clear guidance on the Israeli regime and associating Portugal with the supply of weapons for its genocidal policy, of occupation and colonisation.

Demanding clarification, the PCP took the initiative to call the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of National Defence to the Assembly of the Republic to clarify the circumstances that led to this reprehensible event.
