Pedro Nuno Santos elected leader of Portugal's Socialist Party (PS) for March 10 snap parliamentary election following Antonio Costa's resignation amid corruption investigation. Nuno Santos, known for coordinating support with the far-left, described himself as a cobbler's grandson and son of a businessman. He advocates for a strong welfare state but not replacing companies with the state. His main rival is Luis Montenegro of the center-right PSD, who promises tax cuts. Analysts fear a post-election quagmire and potential strengthening of the populist party Chega.
