Summary:

  • Chega's electoral success is reshaping Portugal's political landscape

  • The phenomenon poses a significant challenge to both PSD and PS

  • The focus is on preventing Chega's influence over the PSD rather than political shifts

Jorge Almeida Fernandes reflects on the electoral success of Chega and its implications for Portugal's political system.

More than discussing the background of Chega's electoral success, it's crucial to learn from the phenomenon rather than lament it. Following the 2024 legislative elections, the key issue is how Chega is reshaping the right and, by extension, the entire political system. This challenge isn't just for the PSD but also, or especially, for the PS. It's not about shifts to the left or right but about preventing Chega's "embrace" of the PSD.
