Thank you for sharing these insights about Portugal's political system and politics. We, ex-patriots living in Portugal, know and understand too little of what's going on. Posts like yours help us stay informed.
I remember how surprised I felt a few weeks ago, when I discovered for the first time that the "Social Democratic" Party is, in fact, centre-right, while the "Socialist" party is actually social-democratic in its ideology and platform. 😅 It can be pretty confusing for someone new in the country. (Like in two Nordic countries we have parties called "Left" that are both centre-right in reality 😆).

Even "CHEGA" party, that claims that are from the right wing, they have some ideas that are more from the left, like supporting help in freeways tools (in my humble opinion, just a decision to gain votes among the more needed)
Yes, they're clearly a populist party that mixes economic policies from the left with law & order / immigration policies from the right.
