The result of voting abroad in Portugal was confirmed by the growth of the extreme right party Chega, which, finally, was in the second position, surpassing the Socialist Party (PS) after they were preferred voters registered abroad.
Chega reached 1.3 million votes and the same deputies as the Socialist Party (PS) in thorough attention inside, but left 50,000 ballots to overcome PS. Voting abroad does not completely close the gap in terms of the number of votes, but this changes parliamentary arithmetic: having reached two deputies of four who spread in two external electoral districts (two in Europe and two other world), the formation of 60 places that do not become clarification of the democratic total composition (from Andre Vendur) add to Andre Vendur (two other. something, which was in other preservations of the democratic general, with the Atmongistian Union (with the AT -arbitration (on the other hand, with the Atmounced General Union (on the other hand, with an atmonic common union (with AT -Alellization (on the other hand, with an atmosphere (on the other hand, and not in preservations of democratic alias (with AT -Al.
The change in position has a more symbolic value, because the acting Prime Minister and the leader of the advertising Luis Montenegro repeated that he would not allow Chegie to enter the government or agree on agreements to guarantee the stability of the legislative body. But the final result is confirmed by the vast majority of rights that exceed 60% of the vote, adding the Voices AD, Chega and the liberal initiative, and makes Ventura the leader of the opposition.
Although Ventura hesitated in its positions regarding the contract with the conservatives – sometimes for benefit, sometimes against – now, it seems, is ready to agree on some extremes. The first thing that proposed before the formation of a new government was to use the increased majority of the right to change the 1974 Constitution and, among other things, eliminate the preamble, a reference to the desire of voters to “open a path to socialist society”. The formula has no practical consequences, but it still causes urticaria between the most reaction strips of Portuguese society.
As part of the rupture of Chega countries, he wins in clarity in countries such as Switzerland (where he grew from 32% to 45% in less than a year), Belgium, France or Luxembourg. Outside of Europe, support received by Ultra Party stands out especially in Brazil.
One of the reasons why Chegie’s special difficulty explains among the inhabitants abroad, where it was the first force, as it was already in 2024, is a refusal of corruption, which in Ventura understood what was associated with two traditional formations, social -democratic party (a very majority of AD Coalition AD partners) and PS, which were historically variable in the government. The socialist Antonio Costa resigned in 2022, when he ruled the absolute majority after the prosecution burst into his residence for the investigation, which after almost three years had not yet completed the signs of a crime against him.
“Something similar to Romania is happening,” compares the political scientist of the Higher Institute of Ciências Do Trabalho and Da Company from Lisbon JOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, who explains that in both countries there is a very large population in the diaspora, which rejects corruption, which he perceives Houses. He also notes that, unlike internal ones, migrants do not follow Portuguese information by traditional media, but through social networks, “where the main right -wing content is 10 times stronger than that of the extreme left.” CHEGA support is configured as an anti -medium voting of protest, which they no longer seek, according to Carvalia, the left -wing parties, such as the Bloco de Esquerda and the Communist Party, after their experience of the parliamentary support to the socialist government between 2015 and 2021.
