The Socialist Party, which is devoid of leadership and a sense of public service, has gotten what it deserves.
With the national conservative Chega almost tripling its vote, Lisbon has fired the starter pistol for populist success in Europe’s 2024 elections.
After fifty years of ‘restoring democracy’ in Portugal, the people are turning against globalisation.
Portugal is being transformed by mass immigration—in all likelihood, irreversibly.
