Portugal celebrates its third elections in three years under the shadow of unmanageable

This Sunday, for the third time in three years, Portugal goes to the polls under the shadow of unimportantness, as soon as the surveys did not provide important changes with regard to the last early elections, convened after conservative Prime Minister Luís Montenegro a motion of trust about a possible interests of their family business interests.

So, in the last published this week, the Montenegro Coalition (Democratic alliance () Remains with an intention of voting 32 %, a figure greater than that of 2024 and that led to a fragile governance in which the abstinence of the abstinence of the Socialists (between 26 and 28 %) to implement their program.

The great beneficiary of those elections was again the Ultra -Rechtse ChegaThat clearly strengthened as a third political power, although Montenegro continues to throw away every alliance, even with the risk not to count like in 2024 with a stable majority, which could reach liberal initiative this time.

In it, President Marcelo Rebelo encouraged the Sousa Burgers to come and vote about the stability of Portugal, but also in Europe. “The world is as it is, it’s not easy, it’s harder than a year ago,” he said last Sunday when he came to leave his voice in advance.

In view of the possibility that no candidate reaches sufficient majority, Rebelo de Sousa de Portuguese reminded that there will be no new elections in the coming twelve months, because the meeting cannot be resolved in the first six months of presidential mandate or in the last six, just like their case.

Despite this political volatility, which may not be resolved with these elections, Portugal has been enjoying economic stability since 2016. Among the population, however, low wages and difficult access to homes remain more than the annual growth of 2 % of their GDP.

Why are the elections ahead ‘?

Under the threat of a parliamentary committee, Montenegro called together a motion of confidence in the meeting after the press has shown that a family adviser had received payments from a maximum of six companies that did business with the government, as a result of which President Rebelo de Sousa has produced the elections.

Montenegro, who came to power after an early elections for a corruption case that former Prime Minister António Costa spatted and has not remained, has always denied and reminded that he gave up the actions of this company to his wife and children before he hired the leadership of his party.

A risky game of calling elections, although controlled, because nobody wanted to go to the polls in Portugal. Neither the socialists after their defeat in March 2024; Neither Chega, who could lower a percentage point in favor of the Montenegro coalition because of the parliamentary uncertainty that he is warned.

Housing, Health and Corruption

Montenegro has asked voters to allow him to continue his program, that tax cuts, promises of improvements in the weakened health system, or a pavement includes Migration policyNaturally, Chega voters winks, whose leader, André Ventura, has left the campaign before health problems.

However, as in the case of Montenegro, opponents are blaming him for an approach to the postulates of the Ultra right to catch the mood in those sectors, they accuse the leader of the socialists, Pedro Nuno Santos, of moderating his speech in an attempt to take the middle vote.

The socialists remain in figures that are comparable to those of 2024 and obtain, according to some of the last surveys, between 26 and 28 % of the support, while the rest of the armed forces continue to stagnate on the left.

The leader of the socialists has benefited from the Great Black -Out At the end of April she founded herself as an alternative to the inability, in his opinion, Van Montenegro to manage large crises. “There was a lack of order and peace,” he said then.

Santos has promised to strengthen the health system with hiring More Doctors and health staff and including within public network services such as dental and mental health, as well as improvements in tax reduction plans for 35 -year -old. Just like Montenegro, it is committed to the construction of more homes to lower the current demand.
