Victory without the majority; Portuguese democratic coalition

According to RCO News Agency, the “Democratic Union” (AD) ‘right -wing coalition won the early parliamentary elections on Sunday, but once again failed to achieve the complete majority needed to end the long period of political instability; While the Left Socialist Party and the Right Right Party of the Chega came in almost equality.

The third election, the third in the last three years, was held a year after the launch of the Democratic Union’s minority government; After Prime Minister Lewis Montenegro failed in March, because the opposition questioned his honesty on his family counseling business relationship.

Louis Montenegro has denied any violation.

The voters mainly ignored the opposition’s criticism and appear to be punished at the ballot box for their role in overthrowing the minority government because of their role in overthrowing the minority government.

With the full count inside the country, the electoral data showed that the democratic alliance had won 2 seats in the 5 seats of parliament; That is, 2 seats more than the previous election.

“The Portuguese people no longer want early elections, they want a four -year -old assembly,” said Louis Montenegro.

He said the result of the election is a vote of confidence by the Portuguese people that the opposition must respect.

The Right Right Party of the Chega performed better than predicting most of the polls and won four seats, with two seats more than last year. The Socialists won only about 6,000 more than the condensate, and their seats were reduced from 1 to 2, which is a major blow to one of Portugal’s two main parties.

Meanwhile, the leader of the Socialist Party Pedro Nuno Santos announced that he will resign.

“We became historic”

Out -of -country votes that will be counted in the coming days may place the Chega Party in the second place; In this case, for the first time in nearly five years, the Socialist Party will not be among the first two parties.

Louis Montenegro has refused to deal with the condensate, in the sense that his government must obtain a parliamentary support to promote affairs; Unless it finds another solution. He said he expects the government to form another minority.

Political science expert Adelino Malta told Reuters that the results of the Chaga Party show that “the bilateral system is over and if democracy is in danger, the Louis Montenegro Party and the Socialists must agree to form a large coalition.”

Middle -aged and middle parties have only formed an official coalition only once in the years 1 to 2.

The election, which also played a prominent role such as housing and immigration, was held after a decade of fragile governments; That the only government with a parliamentary majority collapsed last year in the middle of its period.

Chega, an anti -immigration and anti -ruling party, was founded in 2008 by former football commentator Andre Ventura, known for his insulting statements against ethnic minorities; The party became the third largest parliamentary force in year 2 and four times the number of seats in the year.

Ventura added that “we didn’t win the election, but we became historic”, adding that his party will continue to be in second place after counting overseas votes.

Portugal has better functioning in terms of economic growth than most EU countries, creating surplus budgets and reducing its debts during both the Middle Governments and the moderate.
