SERRA-SILVA, Sofia; RA, Maria; FERREIRA, Duarte    CARVALHO, Luís. The 2019 European elections in Portugal: a trial to the “Geringonça” arrangement?. []. , 64, pp.15-32. ISSN 1645-9199.  https://doi.org/10.23906/ri2019.64a02.

The 2019 European Parliament elections were especially interesting in Portugal. They took place four months before the Portuguese legislative election and for this reason they worked as a first-round test for the “contrapation” – for the Socialist Party (PS) and its partners in the left flank but also for the opposition. In this article we briefly discuss the nature and characteristics of the European elections, drawing on the predictability power of the second-order elections model. This article takes a longitudinal perspective, by comparing the European elections with the 2014 European contest and the legislative elections that took place in 2019 and in 2015.
