Small Political Parties Propose Bold Ideas for Portugal's Future Ahead of Elections

Political Landscape in Portugal

In the lead-up to the legislative elections on May 18, 12 political forces outside the Parliament are vying for voters' attention. While not all parties will compete in every electoral district, they are united in their aim to reach the Assembly of the Republic with innovative proposals, particularly concerning housing and healthcare.

Key Priorities of Small Parties

In addition to housing and health, the parties emphasize their focus on economy, taxation, justice, and immigration - issues that are particularly highlighted by right-leaning parties. Each party is outlining its vision for a more sustainable and productive Portugal, aiming to resonate with the electorate's concerns.

Notable Proposals

Some of the standout ideas include:

• Rehabilitation of abandoned houses to address housing shortages.
• Limiting immigration to maintain social balance.
• Social support for what they term “productive Portuguese families.”

These proposals reflect a diverse array of viewpoints, showcasing the unique contributions of smaller parties to Portugal's political discourse.
