Portugal’s recent general election results have left the country in a state of uncertainty about its future, while also serving as a morale boost for the radical right in Europe. The inconclusive outcome has led to political ambiguity and showcased the rise of the populist party Chega, which has significantly increased its parliamentary seats. This surge of the hard right in Portuguese politics has divided opinions among voters, with some seeing it as a moment of change and others expressing concerns about potential threats to fundamental rights, especially those of women. The official results are pending, and both major moderate parties are awaiting crucial overseas votes to determine the final outcome.
