Why the Far Right are on the Rise in Portugal

For a long time, Portugal seemed immune to the wave of right-wing populism sweeping Europe. Following PM Costa’s resignation, an election now looms with a far right party slowly rising among the ranks. But, how did we get here and why is this party…

  1. I don’t have a problem with that Portugal is only for the Portuguese not for anyone else or religion absolutely no Muslims allowed ever we are a Christian land period

  2. Portugal might be wiser if it admits that a lot of its problems are a result of AMERICANs coming and buying property and driving prices way up so that the Portuguese cannot afford housing. That's right–American migration must be stopped!

  3. Portugal sells citizenship and driving license for money. If People with Portuguese passport and driving license come to other countries then the authorities should put driving test for that person specifically for those from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh

  4. They are the ones trying to do something as ps and psd only know how to chucle us with taxes and imigration as gone mad. No control whatsoever . They are arriving everyday , dont speak the lingo , no effort , dont minggle and they have got nothing to do with us . I dont know my country anymore. EU is dead.

  5. Let‘s be clear to everyone. Chega is far right, from its roots and acoording to the background policies that caims. Whoever voted for immigration or high tax voted for NAZI-FASCIST supporting people (and I know what I‘m talking about). So deal with it, don‘t come with excuses.

  6. Anybody who uses the term "Far Right" these days just means anything Right of Karl Marx. It is utterly meaningless and just a bit of a pathetic slur. I know nothing about this party, but just from the title of this video I am pretty sure that they are just a right-of-center socially conservative party.

  7. Fair right…. We had enough of socialism we had enough of being robbed by the left parties. We had enough of them pushing their ideology we had enough of them removing our rights bit by bit. CHEGA means ENOUGH and we had Enough

  8. As a Canadian /Portuguese citizen i voted for CHEGA , they stand for most of what I believe and wish and feel is ruining our Countries Portugal and Canada . Corruption , government size and overreach , Gender Ideology, Woke Ideology, massive immigration etc.. In Canada we have our own CHEGA, the Conservative Party with Pierre Poilievre ,as the Leader , Canadians have had enough of this Evil Dictator , Trudeau must Go !! Pierre Must Win , are we are doomed.

  9. Saying Chega is far right just makes you seem like far left.. Chega has many liberal views but the left denies to even work with them because we all know left are racist power hungering wallflowers.

  10. The single reason is: CORRUPTION.
    We had elections due to a corrupt prime min. and the socialist candidate is the very one who got exonerated due to TAP(air transporter) scandals.
    Since our dictatorship, taxes and public services haven´t as bad. And in 2024 these corrupt socialist would have raised taxes to a new all time record of 38%.

  11. You should be ashamed of your reporting, this election is NOT over, there are the emigration votes to be counted that are enough to flip the winner…and you do not mention that at ANY stage. How is that acceptable??

  12. It's not far right… Everything that doesn't go against the left politics is "far right"… Also, this "far right" maybe is rising because of the amount of misinformation videos like yours provide… As well as the things you don't tell… But yeah, it's "far right"

  13. People who normally vote for PS are old people who dont care about politics, always vote for PS and always say that Portugal is going from bad to worse, Gypsies who have never worked a day in their lives and still have new Porches , BMW, Mercedes in their houses and normally dont pay rent among other things. There are other people that also abuse the system in terms of benefits etc, and on the other end of the spectrum there are people who come from influence/money who get positions within the party only to further their own interests. Soo people are sick of it and we wanna a change . 22 yeas of Socialism and we have, like someone says ,education, Health, Security completely destroyed, uncontrolled immigration and we need to stop this. Media and Left-leaning people try to say that Chega is bad , is fascist , racist and etc to scare people to not vote for them.

  14. Chega is not far right, it's simply a conservative right party.but there is far left in Portugal we have one of the only openly communist orthodox party PCP and extreme left party BE in Europe and they were in the government with the socialist party not too long ago, I didn't see the rise of the far left anywhere then.. I would advise you to study history and politics before labelling parties, if you wish to improve I will be happily willing to explain the difference between far right and right.

  15. I am quite worried about these government elections, the last time PSD, a MAJOR member of AD, was on the government, they "borrowed" the subsidaries of the public function (740.000+ workers) and left them without those while they were on the top.

    But PS, PS brought them back, it was not a hole they digged in the ground, but it is one they filled up, I know this first hand since my family mostly works in the public function and has received thousands in non-paid subsidaries from the time PSD was on the government.

    PPM, a party that wants to bring back monarchy, also worries me since they are a member of AD, which is supposed to be democratic.

  16. I voted for chega, i get called facist on the regular, people call me braindead people Say that ventura is the new Hitler whilst saying he is sponsored by Putin… Its a mess people need to stop repeating what they hear on the streets an see some debates, stop calling people facist as a copout. And most importantly if more than a million people voted for chega everybody else must respect and accept peoples votes. You may not like them but you cant deny or silence soo many peoples ideology. If you do you are doing preciselly what you acuse us of doing when you call us facists😂

  17. Things will never change in Portugal, because all parties are financed by large corporations, which indirectly control the country.
    The Chega party is the same sh$%, as they are supported by private health.
