Chega and allies closer to winning

António José Seguro won a majority against the leader of the Chega party, which led many to believe that right-wing radical populism had reached its maximum level of support. This was the perception of comfort resulting from this victory. However, David Pontes's editorial argues that this idea is wrong. The author suggests that the Chega party and similar political forces are actually closer to winning than many think. The editorial questions the narrative that right-wing radical populism in Portugal has plateaued, warning of the possibility of continued growth of these parties.
