Voters in Portugal go to the polls Sunday in an early election that could see the country join a shift to the right seen across Europe after eight years of Socialist rule.
Socialist rule? What countries are those? AFAIK it’s been more like
NL: right to ultra right
BE: center to center right
FR: center
DE: center to center left(ish)
NO: right
SV: center left to right
etc
so enlighten me about this “socialist rule”.
Like in many European countries the social democratic party calls it self socialist party. It gets especially odd in Portugal, because the big center-right conservative party calls themselves ”social democrats” 🙄
I think that refers to Portugal being ruled by the Socialist party for 8 years
