Good morning! Here are the key highlights from the national press this Monday, May 19.
The headlines of most newspapers are focused on the results of Sunday’s legislative elections, with the Diário de Notícias emphasizing that the “Left had its worst-ever result”.
The Correio da Manhã, meanwhile, reports on the “Victory of Montenegro and Ventura’s earthquake”, also noting that “Police pose as tourists to catch pickpockets” in Lisbon.
The Público highlights, “AD strengthens, Chega grows, PS collapses,” while the Jornal de Notícias describes a “Tripartite Portugal”.
The headline in Negócios reads, “Whirlwind. AD achieves clear victory in legislative elections but will need to negotiate governance solutions. Chega may become the second-largest party. PS leaves humiliated as Pedro Nuno Santos announces he will step down as leader.” The Jornal Económico states, “AD and IL insufficient for a majority government”.
