NÓS VISTOS POR ELES: A disaster for Costa

«Ten days after losing Portugal’s election, Socialist leader António Costa is attempting to forge an anti-austerity alliance with the Communists and other radical anti-euro leftists to oust conservative Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho.

(...)

The elections on October 4 were a disaster for Costa, who squandered an early poll lead and handed victory to Passos Coelho‘s center-right coalition, which captured 104 seats in the Assembleia da República, ahead of the Socialists with 85.

(...)

Failing that, Portugal looks set for more political uncertainty, be it under a Socialist government dependent on the far-left, or a center-right administration kept in power by Socialist votes. Either way, the result looks to be a weakened government with a high risk of fresh elections next year.»
