André Ventura accuses Marcelo of going to a hamburger festival which is, in fact, a Citizen's Festival in Berlin (article in Portuguese) (sicnoticias.pt)

The accusation to the Portuguese president was made by André Ventura on social media on Wednesday after his far-right party, Chega, voted in the parliament against Marcelo's trip to Germany for an official visit between this Thursday and Saturday, after an invitation by his German counterpart.

In a video posted on Instagram, in which he appears with a document in hand, André Ventura makes the accusation, referring to the Bürgerfest meeting as "a hamburger festival", when it is in fact a "Citizen's Festival" (the German word 'bürger' means 'citizen'), held at the presidential palace gardens in Berlin.

NOTE: Sorry for not being able to translate more, but I genuinely suck at it.

And then he accused the President of traveling outside of the country on tax payers dime 1550 times during his term, which, if true, would be just slightly less than once every 2 days, so obviously a lie.

The only people dumber than him are his supporters.
