The political landscape in Portugal appears to have shifted, suggesting a waning influence for former Prime Minister Passos Coelho. Significant changes within the PSD (Social Democratic Party) and the rise of Chega (a right-wing political party) indicate that Coelho’s political moment has passed. The Ministry of Internal Administration (MAI) is facing a turbulent period, marked by resignations and allegations of undue influence concerning the SIRESP emergency communication system. Simultaneously, former Prime Minister António Costa is expressing concerns regarding property ownership within the European Union. Adding to the political tension, Chega has been making inroads, particularly with a notable surge in support within Coimbra. These developments signal a period of political instability and evolving power dynamics in Portugal.
