Color me mildly surprised, because I was under the impression that the recent Portuguese election put their hard right party into power.
Edit: color me the uninformed yank, as per stereotype 🙃

The recent elections were for the legislature, not the presidency. And while the far right gained a lot of momentum they're only the opposition

Nah, he's been president since 2016. And he's a member of the Social Democratic party. I'm not Portuguese, but I don't think that sounds particularly far right.

Ya, and he is old guard PSD, not like the totally not incompetent and Trump-like Montenegro, our amazing prime minister that was spending time on the beach, having fun, while our country was burning.

They're competing for funding. And fascists always hate each other almost as much as they hate us.
