Abstract

Portugal held local elections on 1 October, which were viewed as a key test for the country's government, led by António Costa. The results saw Costa's Socialist Party (PS) receive the largest vote share, while the opposition PSD experienced a loss of support. Marco Lisi assesses what the outcome means for Portugal moving forward, noting that the results illustrated the the resilience of the Portuguese party system, which has remained largely immune to the emergence of new antiestablishment parties.
