Portuguese right-wing candidate grabs his chest and collapses after drinking water

Portuguese candidate André Ventura, known for his nationalist stance, collapsed during a speech at a campaign rally. Just after taking a sip of water, he froze, then put his hand to his chest and neck, clearly in pain. Members of his team quickly intervened and helped him to leave the stage. The incident occurred just days before the country's parliamentary elections, scheduled for Sunday. The Chega leader was suffering from an esophageal spasm caused by gastric reflux problems, combined with a spike in blood pressure, according to hospital information.
