    Color me mildly surprised, because I was under the impression that the recent Portuguese election put their hard right party into power.

    Edit: color me the uninformed yank, as per stereotype 🙃

      Nah, he’s been president since 2016. And he’s a member of the Social Democratic party. I’m not Portuguese, but I don’t think that sounds particularly far right.

        Ya, and he is old guard PSD, not like the totally not incompetent and Trump-like Montenegro, our amazing prime minister that was spending time on the beach, having fun, while our country was burning.
