Portugal’s ruling elites dismantled the country’s border controls. Now they face a political revolt.

CHEGA’s recent motion of no confidence against the incumbent government exposes the rift between the legacy centre-right and the rising populist party.

Tougher control of legal labor migration is not enough, surging populist party Chega’s leader says.

Nationalist Chega demands inclusion in government to offer support on key issues.

With the national conservative Chega almost tripling its vote, Lisbon has fired the starter pistol for populist success in Europe’s 2024 elections.

After half a century of solid left-wing hegemony, Portugal might be days away from an extraordinary shift to the Right.

Chega has its sights set on smashing 50 years of leftist hegemony.

Chega presents the possibility of a radical change in Portugal.

“Chega is right-wing, but of a non-conservative type. … the bottom line is that we need a real conservative party in Portugal. There is none right now.”
