2009 European Parliament Election In Portugal
The 2009 European Parliament election in Portugal was the election of the delegation from Portugal to the European Parliament held on 7 June 2009. The election was a huge setback for the Socialist Party (PS), which lost almost 18 percentage points. Basically all predictions that said that the PS would win comfortably the election, were wrong. As a result, the party also lost five of its twelve European Parliament members. The Social Democrats (PSD) were the big winners in these elections, surprising pundits and analysts who predicted a very complicated result for the PSD leader, Manuela Ferreira Leite. The PSD won 31.7% of the vote and 8 seats. It was the first victory of the PSD, in European elections, since 1989. The People's Party (CDS-PP) also had a surprising result, winning 8% of the vote and electing two European Parliament members. Both PSD and CDS-PP, who ran in a joint list in 2004, increased sharply their scores and together they won more than 40% of the vote and 10 E ...

The Parliament is composed of 705 members (MEPs).

National Renovator Party
Rise Up ( pt, Ergue-te, E), originally the National Renewal Party (, PNR) until July 2020, is a Portuguese far-right nationalist political party. History The PNR was established in February 2000. In July 2020, the party was renamed. Controversy Although in the past the party did not reject connections to so-called neo-Nazi racist movements, it claims to be a target of political persecution. In their youth, some of its former members were convicted for racial discrimination and violent crimes, such as the racially motivated murder of Alcindo Monteiro in Lisbon, after being linked to far-right armed groups such as the Portuguese Hammerskins. In recent years, however, the party has expelled its members that have connections to these kinds of groups and, as a result, the former Portuguese Hammerskins leader Mário Machado has decided to try to create a new party, the New Social Order. Election results In the 2005 legislative elections, the then PNR obtained just under 0.2 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
