You're a tremendous inspiration for the people of Portugal and also across Europe,
00:00:04.800
but take me back, what first red-pilled you? What first got you into all this?
00:00:08.820
I wish I had a cliché story or something that happened to my family or to a friend,
00:00:15.260
but it was really this feeling of helplessness, looking around, looking through my bedroom window
00:00:22.120
and seeing my country change for the worst every day
00:00:25.240
and feeling that this was being forced upon me against my will.
00:00:30.000
and I thought that I have the willpower, I have maybe the skills,
00:00:34.800
and I have the knowledge that something is deeply wrong.
00:00:39.640
It's my responsibility to do it, and if I don't do it, no one is going to do it.
00:00:43.880
So I better start working for the future of my country.
00:00:49.140
I thought it might be fun to try and find the most cancelled person in Europe.
00:00:55.940
So I want to know, what kind of badges have you earned?
00:01:00.740
Yes, I've been banned from PayPal, YouTube, TikTok,
00:01:09.520
And now recently, I mean, I've been banned from speaking in council as a citizen.
00:01:15.180
As a citizen, you can request to speak in council.
00:01:17.580
I was banned from that and dragged out of their conference room by the police.
00:01:21.860
I have been detained illegally for peacefully protesting against mass migration
00:01:26.220
and taken to jail with my hands behind my back in handcuffs.
00:01:34.400
I've lost all my bank accounts, all my Portuguese bank accounts.
00:01:39.340
I am not able to create another account in Portugal.
00:01:42.340
And they are doing all of this to destroy the movement.

00:01:46.160
And sometimes when days get hard and tough, you think,
00:01:55.380

00:02:20.660
