"He was one of our national heroes"... what a statement! It took the Portuguese OVER 70 years to recognise him as such. That C..T from Santa Cova Dão, and it subsequentes politicians, SHAME ON YOU! Aristides de Sousa Mendes should have been recognised by the highest level of the Portuguese CORRUPTED system many, many years ago! Aristides de Sousa Mendes will forever be in our hearts.

But he never denounced the Portuguese conquests in Africa and the America's and the subsequent enslavements of its people - therefore we should condemn everything about him. Isn't that how things work now, if you can find one fault we throw away all the good a person or group did.
