In Portugal, the Advertising Centro-Right AllianceIn power, he won the earliest assembly elections, but failed to gain a majority, while the extreme right -wing party was profitable.
The Left Socialist Party (BS) lost 20 seats in parliament, which led to the resignation of the party leader, Cotton Santos.
In the three elections, the traditional leftist parties fell independently. In Romania, the lack of support for Center-Left’s pro-candidate is a big surprise, de Vale said.
“There is an identity crisis in Europe. Left parties do not offer much, they will not question them too much,” he explained.
