Portugal's recent elections revealed a significant political shift, with the center-right Democratic Alliance securing 89 out of 230 seats, just under a third of the vote. The ultranationalist Chega party has emerged as a significant force, matching the Social Democrats with 58 seats and disrupting traditional bipartisanship that has characterized the political scene for decades. This marks a rightward shift in Europe, and though the center-right appears ready to govern, the future political landscape is uncertain, particularly with calls for a coalitional approach.
"The exact path ahead for Portugal is unclear, though the center-right looks poised to hold on to power. Montenegro has frequently ruled out teaming up the AD with Chega."
"Chega placed neck and neck with the Socialists, disrupting decades of stable bipartisan domination, marking a significant shift in the Portuguese political landscape."
