Chega's Rise: Portugal's Far-Right Leads Opposition | JQJO

Portugal's anti-immigration Chega party, meaning "Enough," has become the main opposition party after securing 60 seats in parliament, surpassing the Socialists by two. This marks a significant shift in Portuguese politics, as Chega, a previously fringe party, has risen to prominence due to its hardline stance on immigration and the instability of traditional parties. This win reflects a broader trend of far-right gains across Europe, mirroring the successes of parties like France's National Rally and Italy's Brothers of Italy. Chega's rise challenges the incoming center-right government led by Prime Minister Luis Montenegro.
