Interesting post, but not sure if Hungary will follow the path described by JOSEP COLOMER, after more than a decade of consolidated "competitive authoritarianism".

Debating (and challenging) the concept of "Competitive authoritarian" as a regime type. Opening session of the MA in Politics, ISCTE-IUL, Lisbon.

The alliance between the center-right and the radical right on immigration policy is consolidating in Portugal. After the constitutional court's veto, another version has just been approved by Parliament, with the opposition of all left-wing parties.

Joining Canada, Australia, the UK, and France, the center-right Portuguese government recognized the State of Palestine.The populist radical right party expressed reservations, and the micro coalition partner CDS as well, although not activating the issue, since public opinion was largely in favor.

Chairing the panel "The Radical Right in Brazil and Portugal", this morning, at the V ABRE Meeting, University of Salamanca, with Anthony Pereira (Tulane University) Francisco Martinho (USP, Brazil); João Gabriel Lima (ICS-ULisbon), where we met Elena Martinez Barahona, an old friend and Colleague.

This afternoon in Washington DC, book launch of the latest book of the series "The Portuguese-speaking World" of Liverpool University Press.

André Ventura, leader of the Portuguese radical right party, with 23% of the votes in the recent legislative elections, will run for the presidency of the Republic. If he wins, Ventura could "presidentialize" Portuguese democracy, and pervert it from there with a supporting party, his Chega Party.

I wroite a short piece on @verfassungsblog.de on the challenges facing the French new Prime Minister. The institutions of the Fifth Republic have so far been very resilient in the face of continued crisis, but fatigue is starting to show.

An excellent summary of the debates on fascism and the contemporary radical right that we had in Rome earlier this year, at a conference organized by the George L. Mosse Center at the University of Wisconsin earlier this year.

Falsificar o passado para “ganhar” o presente A resolução ministerial sobre o 25 de Novembro tem muita coisa de inaceitável. Uma é ter-se entregue ao CDS, via ministro da Defesa, as comemorações.

Electoral politics was underestimated by historians of Italian fascism in the cycle of publications marking the "commemoration" of his coming to power in 1922. The recent study of Goffredo Adnolfi, is an excellent and fresh analysis of the subject.

O Governo, as primeiras eleições livres e justas e um erro que deve ser corrigido Há o risco de desligar as comemorações dos 50 anos do 25 de Novembro das celebrações dos 50 anos do 25 de Abril, criando uma narrativa fragmentada e inconsistente sobre o processo de democratização.

A Portuguese Government decree from last week says that the "first free and democratic elections in Portugal, by direct and universal suffrage" were held in 1976. A typo? The first democratic elections in Portugal were held one year before. We can diverge in memory politics but not on facts.
