Norway is holding a closely contested election between the Labour-led government and a center-right coalition, with key issues including taxation, wealth tax, and EU membership, amid international concerns over foreign policy and ethical investments.
In one of the closest elections in Portuguese history, the ruling Socialists conceded defeat to a center-right alliance, with major gains for the far right Chega Party, potentially reshaping the country's political landscape. The center-right Democratic Alliance and the center-left Socialists were separated by only 438 votes, while Chega overperformed in third place. The far-right party's rise has sparked concerns about potential coalition formations and the future of governance in Portugal, as it seeks to address political corruption scandals, a housing crisis, and other pressing issues.
Portugal's national election saw a higher than average turnout, with the center-right and center-left alliances in a tight contest, while the far-right Chega party could play a pivotal role. The election comes after the socialist Prime Minister's resignation and amid challenges such as financial turmoil and the war in Ukraine. The outcome could impact the balance of power in the European Parliament, with potential implications for far-right groups and Europe's social democrats.
