Portugal to Hold Election After Government Collapses

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : With voters frustrated at politicians who continue to plan successive elections but fail to ensure government stability, analysts expect abstention to increase this time.
50% : Last March, a record 6.47 million people went to the polls, an increase of around 900,000 voters from 2022, which benefitted the anti-establishment Chega.
34% : This latest governmental collapse has brought about the worst instance of political instability since Portugal adopted a democratic system more than 50 years ago in the wake of the 1974 Carnation Revolution, which ended the four-decade dictatorial rule of António de Oliveira Salazar.
