Portugal’s election results are less than ending political instability. What do you know here
Lisbon: Portugal’s third general election in three years has failed to give the result that can break the worst magic of political instability in the European Union country of 10.6 million people. Sunday’s vote provided another minority government for the Center-Don Democratic alliance, which would be at the mercy of the opposition parties. The significant increase in support for the hard-right popular party Chaga (adequate) adds more uncertainty.
Why was there an initial election?
The Democratic alliance, led by the Social Democratic Party, lost the vote of confidence in Parliament in March as opposition MPs worked together against it. This led to an election, which was to be held in 2028. Prime Minister Luis Montenegro’s family law firm’s possible struggles in the business behavior of the firm sparked confidence votes from a political storm. Montenegro, who is ready to become Prime Minister again, has denied any wrongdoing. What was the result of Sunday voting? The Democratic alliance captured at least 89 seats in the 230-Seat National Assembly. Chega has collected the number of seats similar to the Center -left socialists – 58 – and so far claims to second place when the four remaining seats decided by voters abroad are held responsible in the coming days. Chaga competed in her first election just six years ago, when she won one seat, and has fulfilled disagreement with more liberal traditional parties. Its success shook the traditional balance of traditional power in a trend, already seen somewhere else in Europe with the national rally of France in Europe, the brothers of Italy and the alternative parties for Germany, which is now in the political mainstream. For the last 50 years, the Social Democrats and Center-Left Socialist Party have optioned in power in Portugal. Meanwhile, socialist, Pedro Nuno is without a leader after Santos, he said he stood after the party’s worst results since 1987. Small parties got other seats.
What are the issues?
The scams of corruption have dogs the Portuguese politics in recent years, which has helped in fueling the rise of Chaga. Chaga has given a major part of its success for his demands for a tight immigration policy that has echoed with voters. Portugal has seen a huge increase in immigration. According to government data, in 2018, there were less than one half million legal immigrants in the country. Earlier this year, there were more than 1.5 million, many of them working in Brazilian and Asian tourism and farming. There is a shortage of thousands and appropriate documents to be in Portugal. A housing crisis has also debated. Home prices and fare have been increasing for the last 10 years, due to the influx of white -collar foreigners, who have increased prices. The problem is one of the poorest countries in Western Europe by Portugal. According to the statistics agency, last year average monthly salary tax was 1,200 euros ($ 1,340). This year, the government-set is 870 euros ($ 974) a month before the minimum wage tax.
what happens now?
The head of the state of Portugal called political parties of the country for consultation. President Marcello Rebelo de Sosa, who has no executive power, was consulting with the parties before inviting the election winner to form the government in accordance with the constitution.
