The article addresses the issue of populism and how populist leaders can emerge in unexpected contexts. The title suggests that populists appear in places where they are not normally expected, alerting to the need for vigilance.
Luís Neves is presented as having an 'ego' profile that resembles that of other known populist leaders, including José Sócrates, Donald Trump, Hugo Chávez and Geert Wilders. This comparison indicates that the article analyses the psychological and behavioural characteristics associated with populism.
The reference to these four leaders, from different political and geographical contexts, suggests that populism is a cross-cutting phenomenon that transcends ideological and geographical boundaries. Sócrates represents the Portuguese context, while Trump, Chávez and Wilders represent different expressions of populism on the international stage.
The article seems to suggest that it is possible to identify common patterns in populist leaders through the analysis of their personality profiles, allowing the recognition of these traits regardless of the specific political context.
