Its leader Luís Montenegro promised supporters to “stimulate investment” and to “guarantee prosperity and social justice”.
Socialist chief Pedro Nuno Santos announced his resignation after his birthday celebration completed in 2d, and lost so many seats it ended up neck-and-neck with some distance-proper Chega – a pretty newcomer.
The Socialists may want to even slip in the back of Chega if outcomes from citizens overseas, which take some days to are available in, replicate those in last 12 months’s election, while two out of the four seats went to Chega, and one to the Socialists.Portugal PM’s celebration wins snap election but falls
