Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's effort to brand marchers as violent extremists was exposed by the reality of a peaceful multi-ethnic protest uniting Muslims, Jews and others. There were just five arrests, and these reflected the targeting of demonstrators for their political views. For the first time since the 1974 Carnation Revolution toppled the fascistic Salazar regime, a Portuguese election led to a victory for a right-wing coalition in which the far right plays a central role.
