PS's Desert Crossing and PSD's Dilemmas Post-Elections - A Deep Dive

The first episode of Poder Público post-elections brings to light the political upheaval following the recent electoral results. The AD's victory, Chega's potential rise to second place in deputy numbers, and the PS's unexpectedly low performance, leading to Pedro Nuno Santos's resignation on election night, set the stage for a riveting political discussion.

Key questions dominated the episode: Was May 18, 2025, the day of Pedro Nuno Santos's political demise? Can he make a comeback after a 'desert crossing'? Must the PS brace for a prolonged opposition period, as suggested by António Mendonça Mendes? Will the race for PS leadership be a solitary one? And what surprises might the constitutional review process hold?

Special participation from director David Pontes added depth to the conversation, making this episode a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of Portuguese politics.
