Partido Socialista
One of Portugal's largest parties, on the centre left. In 2026 it is in opposition: the government is formed by the PSD and the CDS-PP. In the news the party is often referred to by the surname of its parliamentary group leader or by the address of its headquarters, Largo do Rato in Lisbon.
Where you come across it. News about parliament, the budget and taxes.
A proposal tabled by the opposition changes nothing by itself: until the budget is passed and the law is published, the old rules apply, and in the middle of the year the norma-travão gets in the way.
