Portugal is holding early parliamentary elections on Sunday, offering a chance for a far-right party to raise its presence in parliament and upset the country’s two larger traditional centrist powers.
The election follows the sudden resignation of Socialist Prime Minister Antonio Costa late last year. Now, under a new leader, the Socialists are trying to extend their eight years in power, while a center-right coalition led by the PSD, or Social Democratic Party, is pushing to return to government. The growing third force is Chega, or “Enough,” a far-right party founded in 2019.
