MCC Votes & Seats Podcast – Election insight

Early Legislative Election in Portugal, 2024

Mathias Corvinus Collegium Season 4 Episode 2

With the most appreciated contribution of Mr. Alexandre de Sousa Carvalho from the University of Coimbra, the Votes&Seats podcast series gladly issues its episode on the March 2024 Portuguese early legislative election. With our guest expert, we reflect on the background and the process of the election, with special regards to the factors that resulted in the victory of the center-right Democratic Alliance. In our analysis, we dive into the main campaign topics, the scandalous issues, and the social/demographic/economic background of the Portuguese party politics’ current tendencies.

With the help of guest experts and politicians, in the podcast series of MCC’s Centre for Political Science we endeavor to analyze which actors are the real winners of the parliamentary and municipal elections taking place this year in different European countries and what exactly can be considered a real victory after the ballot counts.
