00:00MISINFORMATION BUFFETS PORTUGAL AHEAD OF SNAP ELECTIONS

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

00:14claims by politicians and social media users alike have seen an uptick.

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

00:23on ex-fight André Ventura, leader of the far-right Chega Party.

00:27He 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. Social media doesn't lie, Ventura says in the post.

00:43It's unclear exactly what the source for the poll is, but regardless, social media surveys are

00:48notoriously unreliable. More reliable polling from various credible companies puts AD at about 30%,

00:55the 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. Ventura claimed in a recent televised debate that the Social

01:10Democratic Party, the Socialist Party and Chega came historically close to each other in the 2024

01:16elections. The 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, Portugal is preparing for a deluge of misinformation linked

01:32to the vote by setting up a rapid response system to report dubious claims. According to local reports,

01:38a similar system has already been used in countries across Europe, allowing organisations to quickly flag

01:44urgent content or trends that could threaten election integrity and discuss them with platforms based on

01:50their policies.
