A historic shift to the right has overshadowed the victory of Prime Minister Luís Montenegro's conservatives in Portugal's snap parliamentary election on Sunday. With nearly all votes counted, the far-right party Chega was in a neck-and-neck race for second place with the Socialist Party (PS),

Portugal’s ruling center-right Democratic Alliance (AD) won a snap parliamentary election on Sunday but again fell short of the majority needed to end a long period of instability as the far-right Chega gained a record share of the vote.

The Socialist Party (PS) collapses and reaches its worst result in 38 years, with 23.39%, almost tied with the radical right of André Ventura, with 22.67%. Political earthquake in Portugal. The two-party system that has dominated the Portuguese scene since the Carnation Revolution collapsed yesterday like a house of cards.
