In Portugal the firewall against the far right remains standing

Many people stood successfully behind the Socialist Seguro to prevent the far-right candidate Ventura from becoming president. But there was a prominent exception.

Presidential election in Portugal: The Socialist António José Seguro becomes head of state

The left-wing candidate wins the runoff against the far-right politician André Ventura. Ventura nonetheless regards his result as a harbinger of future victories.

Andre Ventura of Chega (change) running on anti-immigratiom slogans like "this isn't Bangladesh" and "Portugal is ours" has lost the Portugal presidential election in a landslide.

He was second on 23% to 31% in the first round but losing about 30-70 in the run-off to socialist António José Seguro

Grande derrota de Ventura. Enorme vitória de Seguro

O PS costista desprezou-o e tentou humilhá-lo. Foi o melhor que lhe podia acontecer: a sua chegada a Belém é uma chapada de luva branca no socialismo socrático e pós-socrático. Opinião de João Miguel Tavares

Exit polls leave no room for doubt: António José Seguro is on track to become Portugal’s next President with 69.3% of the vote, decisively defeating far-right candidate André Ventura. Beyond the numbers, this is a political message for the whole of Europe.

Randomly, I shared a communal office space with André Ventura, now the Portuguese far right leader, while we were doing PhDs in Cork 2008-2010ish. Though I didn’t know him well, he was on the surface a very affable character, as is often the way with extremists www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...
