For the first time from the Carnation revolution in 1974, the party outside the traditional circle of power, in which central parties prevail, precedes Portuguese surveys: radical right party Chegaheaded by s Andre VenturaFirst appears on the intentions of voting.

According to the latest survey in the newspaper Diário de notíciasAximage, a party in Ventura is going 26.8% If parliamentary elections have been held today – the percentage is greater than AnnouncementThe center is the right coalition that controls the country consisting of PSD Prime Minister Louis Montenenog and compact -disks.

The Socialist Party, which in the last election saw that Chega exceeded it in the number of places, took third place.

The survey is published at a time when the country is counting on its municipal elections October 12In which Chega could first conquer local advice.

At the same time, the advertisement again turned to Andre Ventura after the “mistake”: the parliamentary group Chega voted against the visit of the president Marcelo Rebelo de Souza In Germany for Bürgerfest (Citizens Day) organized by his German colleague Frank-Walter SteinmeierBeing confusing the event with … “Hamberger festival.” Ventura took advantage of the noise, uploading a video to social networks, where he eats a hamburger, dedicating him “in the means of persecution, destroying Chega’s hobbies.”

Political analyst Grain of AlmeidaSpeaking with Euronews, he described the results, as expected: “There are three main political bloc in Portugal in Portugal, and their indicators are very close. In addition, they move within the framework of a statistical error, so we are not talking about a real shift to Cheg’s leadership ”, however, he emphasized the symbolic meaning:“ This is the first time that democracy, when in the survey, gives the street, on the street on the street, PSS.

As for the reasons for the growth of Chegi, Almeida referred to the “political ability of Ventura, government palinodes and the younger, and even the weak leadership of the socialist Jose Luis Carneiro“He noted:“ Unlikely, but not impossible. If the elections confirm these percentages, with a small leadership of Chega, it will be difficult to form a government, since other parties can easily form a parliamentary majority to prevent it. “

According to him, the decisive question is what the AD will do: “He will decide to support the Chega government, even with the participation or prefer such a named“ democratic interception ”, an ally with PS?”

The growth of the extreme right is not an exceptional phenomenon of Portugal. “OR France, Germany And United Kingdom I have distant parties in polling stations: Rassembent National, Afjest And Reform Great Britainrespectively. In other countries, such as the Netherlands, it was possible to prevent power in the future, ”said Almeida.

Meanwhile, the former leader of the Socialist Party and candidate for the next presidential election Antonio Jose Seguro Stated CNN Portugal That, in case of winning Chega in the parliamentary elections, he will appoint Prime Minister Andre Ventura: “So far, all presidents of the republic have been instructed by the leader of the party or coalition with the largest number of votes. I intend to maintain this principle, ”he said, although he has not yet received official support for PS for the candidacy.
