Portugal is gearing up for its upcoming elections, with significant attention on the populist party Chega, which is anticipated to disrupt nearly 50 years of political tradition. The Left Bloc has criticized the right's inability to address Portugal's issues, while Chega's growing popularity is evident in public spaces across the country, from cafes to graffiti and personal belongings.
