Portugal's general election officially commenced on Sunday, drawing over ten million registered voters to the polls.
As voters cast their ballots, the focus remains on the overarching themes of corruption that dominated the political discourse in Portugal. Recent scandals left a stain on the reputation of both the center-left Socialist Party and the center-right Social Democratic Party, prompting a reevaluation of loyalties among the electorate.
The outcome of this election is expected not only to determine the leadership of the nation but also to shed light on the resilience of traditional parties in the face of growing populist sentiments.
