Despite the
catastrophe in Portugal by the austerity brought by the neoliberal
policies made in Brussels-Berlin axis, the Portuguese chosen again
austerity.
From BBC:

Portugal's
governing centre-right coalition has won the country's general
election, which was widely seen as a referendum on four years of
austerity. [...] With almost all votes counted, the centre-right
leads with just under 37%, with the Socialists on over 32%.
However,
Mr Passos Coelho said his coalition appeared to have lost its
absolute majority in parliament. With 99 seats in the 230-seat
parliament, the ruling coalition fell 17 seats short of the number
it needed. Mr Passos Coelho indicated that he was ready to talk to
other parties in the next parliament to pursue the "necessary
reforms" he wants to implement.
Parties
to the left of the Socialists achieved their best-ever result,
says the BBC's Alison Roberts in Lisbon. Left Bloc won 10% of the
vote, securing 19 seats, while the Communists took 8% of the vote.
Four
years of austerity have taken their toll, and the coalition lost
almost one-third of the votes that its two constituent parties
gleaned in the last general election, our correspondent adds.
The
coalition had vowed to continue the policies in place since 2011
after it was forced to seek a eurozone bailout.

Now, seeing
the rise of Left, Coelho will rush to pass every neoliberal
destructive measure, like Cameron in Britain. Total destruction of
social state, full deregulation of labor market, sell off public
assets. Next crucial battle: Spain.
Here is an
example of the Portuguese 'success story':
