Portugal Faces Another Minority Government After Election Results
In the latest general election in Portugal, the ruling center-right coalition, known as the Democratic Alliance, has emerged victorious but failed to secure a majority. This marks the third national election in just three years and comes amidst a significant surge in support for far-right parties. Voter turnout was notably low, and early predictions indicate that political instability is likely to continue as the new government will not have a strong mandate. Many citizens express fatigue over frequent elections and a desire for a stable government. The political landscape is further complicated by persistent issues related to corruption, housing, and shifting voter demographics.
