Paradoxalmente, a principal causa da instabilidade política são os partidos "democráticos" do centro, sobretudo o PS, e não o Chega, que sozinho nunca teria alcançado a posição de "única oposição credível" que muitos lhe atribuem atualmente (3).

Infelizmente, também o PSD nunca conseguiu apresentar-se como alternativa competente. A governação falhada dos dois grandes partidos favorece o Chega e destabiliza o sistema político democrático. (2)

O PS foi e continua a ser o motor principal da ascensão do Chega em Portugal. Obrigado António Costa e Pedro Nuno Santos! A combinação de políticas fracas, sem coragem, desmotivadas e incrementais desde 2019 e uma oposição destrutiva e cobarde desde 2024 caracteriza a atuação do PS. (1)
