The growth of the right in Portugal and the consequences for Spain

A new political scenario in Portugal

The recent elections in Portugal have marked a significant change in the political landscape of the country, with the rise of conservatives and the negative impact on socialism. The defeat of the Socialists has led to the resignation of its leader, and the emergence of Chega, an far -right party, has captured society.

L’Emport de Chega I the seu leader André Ventura

André Ventura, the founder of Chega, has emerged as a key figure in Portuguese politics. With a message that combines nationalism and anti -immigration stances, he has transformed his party into a main actor in the country’s political dynamics. Ventura, a young graduate in Law, left the Socialist Party to create Chega in 2019, and has since captured his attention with a provocative speech.

Proposes and Controversies

Ventura’s ideas include drastic measures as severe penalties for serious crimes and restrictive migratory policy. This has resonated with a sector of the population that feels restless in the increase in immigration and the impact that this has on Portuguese society.

Spain and its isolation in the European context

The result of the election in Portugal strengthens a feeling of isolation for Spain, which is in a unique position compared to the rest of Europe, where conservative tendencies gain strength. Pedro Sánchez, the Spanish President, could see this situation as an opportunity to consolidate his government as the last bastion against the far right.

The risks of political isolation

With the fall of socialists in other countries such as Germany and Portugal, Sánchez could be alone at the European summits. The growing presence of conservative governments in Europe can complicate their ability to train alliances to face shared challenges, such as the migratory crisis and the impoverishment of the middle class.

Looking to the future

The political landscape in Spain can be influenced by what happens in Portugal and other European countries. With the rise of the right, it is crucial for progressive forces to reflect on their strategies to connect with citizens and address their concerns. The political future of Spain could depend on its ability to respond to the changes that occur around it.
