Large frauds exposed in Portugal. A new conflict in opposition. A republic of responsible people.

You're watching news from the weekly rally in front of the Russian Embassy in Lisbon. Today is December 13, 2:30 PM.

On December 6, SÁBADO, citing the Lusa news agency, reported that the Judicial Police arrested seven people and charged 45 more in Operation Cash-a-Lot, targeting a transnational criminal organization involved in money laundering and tax evasion.

On December 6, PÚBLICO published an investigation into Importantaltura, a company operating under the IR Group brand. The name is a carbon copy of a well-known international real estate brand. The alledged scammers even managed to convince the Lagos Tax Authority to accept the company’s tax registration for city buildings. For years, they sold apartments, shares in projects, and “golden visa” services for foreigners but the buildings were ultimately never completed. The company went bankrupt in June this year, and some creditors suspect that its founder, Hugo Paixão Pinto, is now trying to copy the model in Dubai and Brazil.

While our opposition is squabbling, beloved artists Liza Monetochka, the Kasta band, Noize MC, and Vladimir Kotlyarov from the Pornofilmy band are supporting street musicians through the “Favorite Classics — Shared Password!” campaign. They’re singing the beloved since childhood songs in the streets: “Nothing Better in the World,” “Beautiful Faraway,” “Ray of the Golden Sun,” and “Wind of Change.”

And the Association of Free Russians in Turin, as part of the “Music is not a Crime!” campaign, sang this song, as well as Noize MC’s “‘Swan Lake’ Corporation” in Italian and posted the audio recordings on their website.

The wind of change will come. But if you think it’s all easy or paid for, you’re wrong. We work just like you do, and we don’t ask for your money—but we do ask for your participation. Join our events, watch and comment on our videos, reflect on the future in our anonymous discussion club, and send us your anti-war arts.

By the way, the discussion club got a new philosophical concept for the political structure of a future Russia, called “The Republic of Responsible People.” It takes into account the desire for freedom and justice, the importance of the contribution of responsible and active people, and, of course, cultural diversity.
