On Portugal’s elections, 50 years since the revolution
Catarina Príncipe, a long-time activist on the Portuguese left and a doctoral student of political economy, is back on the podcast to talk through what happened as Portugal went to the polls.
- How does Portugal see itself, with regard to Europe, and its own history?
- How did the right-populist Chega party break through amid high turnout?
- What kind of anti-politics did Chega bring to the table?
- Is there nostalgia for the dictatorship?
- How did immigration become an issue in a country where emigration is the big problem?
- What is going on with Portugal’s huge housing crisis?
- Why has the EU disappeared as a political issue, 10 years on from the peak of the crisis?
