Multiple corruption scandals fuel support for populist Chega party led by André Ventura

Portugal’s two-week general election campaign has officially begun with centre-right and centre-left parties leading in the polls, but a far-right populist forecast to collect almost a fifth of the vote is a further sign of Europe’s nativist drift.

    Far-right wouldn’t win. Poland just PiSsed off the PiS party. At least TVP is airing anti-PiS stuff unlike under the previous government, which TVP was a mouthpiece.

      We’re talking about Portugal here, not Poland. But yes they won’t win. It’s still problematic

        Socialism would be better for the future of Europe.
