00:00Misinformación buffets Portugal ahead of snap elections.

00:08As Portugal gears up for its snap legislative elections scheduled for 18 May,

00:13misleading claims by politicians and social media users alike have seen an uptick.

00:18Some relate to the amount of support each political party is getting,

00:22such as this post on ex-fight Andre Ventura, leader of the far-right Chega Party.

00:26He says that social media polls put his party as most likely to come out on top in May,

00:32with a roughly 5% lead on the centre-right AD alliance led by the Social Democratic Party

00:37and about 9% ahead of the Socialist Party.

00:40Social media doesn't lie, Ventura says in the post.

00:43It's unclear exactly what the source for the poll is,

00:46but regardless, social media surveys are notoriously unreliable.

00:50More reliable polling from various credible companies puts AD at about 30%,

00:54the Socialist Party in the high 20s, and then Chega in third place with around 15%.

01:01Nevertheless, it is true that Chega has ramped up support to become a solid political force

01:06in Portugal in recent years.

01:07Ventura claimed in a recent televised debate that the Social Democratic Party,

01:11the Socialist Party and Chega came historically close to each other in the 2024 elections.

01:17The polls show that Chega has consistently risen since the turn of the decade,

01:21and last year's votes saw the party come in as the best-performing third-place party in recent years.

01:27With the 2025 elections on the horizon,

01:30Portugal is preparing for a deluge of misinformation linked to the vote

01:33by setting up a rapid response system to report dubious claims.

01:37According to local reports, a similar system has already been used in countries across Europe,

01:42allowing organisations to quickly flag urgent content or trends

01:46that could threaten election integrity

01:47and discuss them with platforms based on their policies.
