The start of the electoral campaign in view of the early legislative elections on March 10 in Portugal has just been given. At stake is the appointment of a new Prime Minister after the resignation of socialist Antonio Costa, who remained in power for eight years.
The far-right populist Chega party is in ambush to become the arbiter of a future right-wing government. With 17% voting intentions, it is maintaining its position as the third political force in the country. The campaign ends on March 8.
