💨 Abstract

Portugal faces its third general election in three years amid political fragmentation and instability. Voters are frustrated with the two traditional dominant parties, the center-right Social Democrats and center-left Socialist Party, due to their handling of issues like immigration, housing, and the cost of living. Newer parties, including the hard-right populist Chega, have gained traction, leading to a parliamentary deadlock. The current election is expected to result in another minority government, continuing Portugal's political uncertainty.
