Chega Wins in Seixal as Left Bloc & Left Book Form Coalition

In Portugal's recent legislative elections, Chega emerged victorious in Seixal, one of the three municipalities on the south bank of the Tagus where the two main parties are not running together with the PS. Meanwhile, the Left Book and the Left Bloc are running in coalition in Seixal, with the impact of Mariana Mortágua's absence from the campaign yet to be assessed.

The Left Bloc is currently in a critical phase, with other party figures representing it due to the absence of its coordinator. The specific leadership of the Left Bloc during this election campaign in Seixal remains unclear. Despite this, the Left Book and the Left Bloc share a common stance, affirming the need to continue supporting the flotilla heading to Gaza. This support is particularly significant as the communists have governed the chamber in Seixal for nearly five decades.

The election results in Seixal reflect a shift in political dynamics, with Chega's victory and the coalition of the Left Book and the Left Bloc indicating a change in the local political landscape. The impact of Mariana Mortágua's absence and the leadership of the Left Bloc during this campaign will be clearer in the coming days.
