Macau Lawyers Association (AAM) President Jorge Neto Valente told government-owned broadcaster TDM yesterday that if he had been in Hong Kong last Sunday, he would have supported the protesters against the [Hong Kong government’s proposed extradition] law.”
Neto Valente also said in the interview – broadcast on TDM’s Portuguese-language main newscast last night – the best way for the Hong Kong government to solve the row was to postpone the discussion of the bill in the Legislative Council.
Neto Valente also said he was, however, hopeful that postponement was an option. “I am quite hopeful as there are some civic leaders who are even close to the [Hong Kong] government, and who have supported the Hong Kong government, who are asking to postpone the issue. I think it would be the best solution.”
