“…This research note is a first attempt to look at the contextual factors influencing the strength of the radical right vote across electoral constituencies in Portugal. In future, more complete research should combine individual and contextual evidence to understand the drivers of this support in Portugal, but a contextual analysis can shed light on the environmental factors that shape individual choice (Arzheimer, 2009;Knigge, 1998;Stockemer, 2018).…”

This article explains variation in local aggregate support for the populist radical right in Portugal, a country long considered immune to the rise of this political force. Using local electoral results of the 2021 presidential election, I find positive statistical associations between the radical right vote share and the share of social assistance benefit recipients, as well as with the size of the local Roma minority. I also show that the effect of the percentage of social assistance recipients is conditioned on a higher size of the local Roma minority. In contrast, factors such as unemployment, average income levels or the share of immigrants and their change over time do not explain variation in radical right vote shares. The research points to the presence of outgroups that can be construed as ‘outsiders’ as a relevant factor explaining aggregate support for the radical right in contexts where the salience of immigration is low.

“…As the rise of a sizeable radical right party in Portugal is a new phenomenon, research on its characteristics has been scarce. Besides Mendes and Dennison (2020), Marchi (2020) (Arzheimer, 2009;Knigge, 1998;Stockemer, 2018).…”

This research note investigates the role of contextual factors in explaining variation in local aggregate support for the populist radical right in Portugal, a country long considered immune to the rise of this political force. Using electoral results of the 2021 presidential election at the municipal level, I find significant positive statistical effects of the share of social assistance benefit recipients and the size of the Roma minority on radical right vote shares. In contrast, factors such as unemployment, average income levels or the share of immigrants do not explain radical right vote shares.

“…Studien, die diese Zusammenhänge auf der Aggregatebene betrachten, kommen zu unterschiedlichen Ergebnissen. Unter 2.559 schweizer Dörfern ist die rechtspopulistische Schweizer Volkspartei (SVP) besonders in kleinen Orten mit geringen Migrant_innenanteilen erfolgreich (Stockemer, 2018), während der Zusammenhang für 290 schwedische Gemeinden am Beispiel der Schwedendemokraten genau umgekehrt ist (Rydgren & Ruth, 2011). Das zwischen ethnischer Segregation in einer Stadt und der Zustimmung zur rechtspopulistischen Partei für die Freiheit (PVV) ein positiver Zusammenhang besteht, kann am Beispiel von 50 niederländischen Städten gezeigt werden (Van der Waal, de Koster & Achterberg, 2013).…”
