I stand incredibly corrected! I guess I was too focused on CHEGA as the farthest right that I didn’t realize this winning party was still pretty bad. I don’t see much coverage of the winners on the news I get over here so I honestly didn’t think they were as bad as other far-right parties making waves across Europe.

Portugal does look like its still going through an election phase or something because I’m seeing different parties doing public speeches (a poppy party and the PCP), I have no idea what they say and what’s going on but it seems important.

Poppy Party is LIVRE, they're leftist from what I've seen (and not half bad) but meh. PCP has fallen, barely got any votes 💀

The PCP is in coalition with the sunflower party, right? Is that maybe why they fell? Or did they team up to hopefully regain what they lost? I guess the state of the left in Portugal is the same as everywhere else, which really really sucks.

No, PCP is in a coalition with PEV, an environmentalist party which also happens to have a flower as its symbol. There’s two of those actually: PEV and PAN.
