The Portuguese parliament voted, by majority, on the decision to recognize the catastrophe that befell the Palestinian people in 1948, and praises their struggle to obtain their right to self-determination, in an advanced step from a European country.

The resolution condemns the Israeli occupation policy of illegal expansion and annexation that violates international laws.

It also calls on the Portuguese government to take a clear and frank position in defense of the right of the Palestinian people, as guaranteed by international norms and laws.

The parties that voted for the resolution are: the Socialist (PS), the Communist (PCP), and the Left Alliance (BE), while the parties that voted against it are: the Social Democrats (PSD) and the far-right party "Enough" CHEGA.
