Portugal’s Right Wing ‘Chega’ Party Poised to Double Its Parliament Seats and Become ‘Kingmaker’ in Sunday’s Elections
Outdor for Chega (Enough) Party: ‘Shame! Portugal needs a cleaning.’
2024 is widely expected to be an year when right wing parties will make big electoral gains in most European countries.
Portugal is no exception to the rule, as tomorrow’s national elections may bring about a seismic political shift – with the populist party Chega (Enough) looking primed to double its vote results and solidify its position as third biggest party.
Because of its common-sense proposals on immigration and economic matters, ‘Chega’ has been inevitably been called ‘controversial’ and ‘far-right’.
For decades, highly corrupt centre-left and centre-right parties have ruled the small country in the Atlantic coast, but recent corruption scandals and the poor economic performance have put ‘Chega’ in a position to play a pivotal role.
