Not only defeats, it seems to be around a 70-30 split. Absolutely destroyed the wannabe dictator.
Democracy doing democracy things voters spoke, now the real test is what comes next.
Anyone got a link to results when they come in?
Thank god
Thank god, unironicaly xD
I’m very curious to know how to government Will handle these results next year
Hopefully this will be a massive bitchslap for chega
Russia was sleeping it seems.
How did the voting go, considering all that flooding?
Tósegurismo intensifies
So a radical wins against a radical. Portugal must be a shitshow
Good
Why is it always far right? And not just right or right leaning.
I wish they stopped using socialist to describe PS even though it’s obviously in PS’ name.
It doesn’t do anyone any favours and it is misleading. Especially when it’s a guy in the most centrist faction of PS.
PS is Portugal’s mainstream Social Democratic Party and that’s it.
Just say “social democrat defeats far-right candidate”.
Well done
Portuguese people are still decent in general. Really good to see these results! Really good to actually check that the number of votes for this idiotic party is slowly going down
How depressing fascists or socialists both are oppressive in their own way what happened to Liberalism?
Congrats on the sane results.
Two small contributions to the discussion from me:
– In almost all European lands, far-right / populist fascism is about 1/4 – 1/3 of the population. That’s about all they can get, because the rest of the population is educated and has common sense. If the rest of the political forces are divided, the far-right gets a chance to rule by forming a coalition. Else, they won’t manage.
– Far right populism only offers scapegoats and hate. They will never offer a solution to any problem. Because of that, they quickly dissapoint their voters and tend to collapse after some time in power. Therefore, for every wannabe dictator that comes to power in a country, another will fall in another. Babis rose to power in Czech, Widers lost in Netherlands. They didn’t make it in Romania or Portugal, but Le Pen may succeed in France, but then again, Orban will lose in Hungary. Eventually, every country will have its turn to try the nationalist – populist stupidity. The important thing is that Europe advances – even slowly
Literally the Portuguese version of Ion Iliescu vs Corneliu Vadim Tudor. Except this guy didn’t beat ppl up with miners.
Great job Portugal 👏
He’s not a socialist btw
