pretensão em cada passo que davam


Explanation:
"Via-se a sua pretensão em cada passo que davam;"


"In a casual sense, the term "entitlement" refers to a notion or belief that one (or oneself) is deserving of some particular reward or benefit —if given without deeper legal or principled cause, the term is often given with pejorative connotation (e.g. a "sense of entitlement")."
