The good news: #Portugal votes for Center-left Seguro as president with an overwhelmingly clear 66.82% majority. Far-right candidate Ventura is the clear loser. Thank you, wonderful people of Portugal!
As we've seen in France, being on the second turn ballot is the real victory.

To my US friends: „Center-left“ in US political terms means „extreme socialist, almost communist“ #SarcasmButOnlyHalf
To the „yes, but“ group and other reply-guys: prepare for being ignored by me, this is good news. After the results of the Dutch parliament elections this is another clear signal that far-right can be contained.
(„Being ignored“ can also mean that I will block you if your „yes, but“ only serves to inject negativity because you don’t want people to feel good
@jwildeboer I’m all the more surprised because it’s Portugal. Maybe my sample of Portuguese impressions is very skewed, but I was convinced it was going to go the other way for them

@flying_saucers @jwildeboer I was positively surprised by the first round. I always expected the initial favourite Gouveia e Melo to tank once the campaign started, but I thought media favourite Marques Mendes would get to the second round easily, since he had been preparing the public narrative for 10 years now. Ventura was always going to lose the 2nd round. He has a dedicated cult around him that always show up, but has a massive rejection rate in the rest of the population.

@Catarina But he is standing firm on the fundament of democracy. Good.

@mhz He is the right wing of the center left, at least more left than the right wing PM (I live in Portugal). @jwildeboer

@jwildeboer yeah, Seguro was the lesser evil on the ballot. I and many others voted for him not because we agree or believe his policies, but because we had to keep Ventura out.
