52% : The stakes are high for the next administration: Portugal, a country of 10.3 million people and the poorest in Western Europe, is poised to begin deploying 45 billion euros ($50 billion) of aid as a member of the European Union to help spur the economy after the COVID-19 pandemic.
48% : But two months ago their differences, especially over public health spending and workers' rights, were insurmountable, leaving Socialist Prime Minister António Costa short of votes to pass his party's plan.
