With 52.4% of the vote share from Sunday’s election, law professor Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa was elected as president of Portugal.
Though the post is mostly ceremonial, there are potential difficulties for Rebelo de Sousa as he negotiates working with the Socialist minority government consisting of the political parties Left Bloc and the Communist party.
We’d like to know what the current mood in Portugal is like. Who did you vote for? Are you happy with the result? What are your hopes and concerns for the future? We’ll feature some of your stories on the site.
