Get ready, Portugal! More North African dust is on the way, along with a rising populist right movement. Find out how the country is navigating environmental and political changes.

Portugal is set to face another wave of North African dust as a depression centered over the Madeira archipelago sweeps in on Thursday, June 6. This natural phenomenon poses challenges for the country, affecting visibility and air quality. In addition to environmental concerns, Portugal is also experiencing a rise in populist right-wing movements. While not everyone in the country supported socialism, many still uphold the values of liberal democracy.

The “Management and Sustainability of Space Activities Conference” recently took place in May, shedding light on the importance of space governance. UNOOSA, alongside Portugal, was a key player in this conference, emphasizing the need for sustainable space practices. This event highlighted the growing significance of space exploration and the necessity for international cooperation.

As Portugal prepares for the influx of North African dust, the country also grapples with shifting political dynamics. The rise of the populist right challenges traditional ideologies, presenting a new political landscape. Despite differing opinions on governance, the majority of Portuguese citizens value the democratic principles that underpin their society.

In conclusion, Portugal finds itself at a crossroads of environmental changes and political shifts. As the country navigates these challenges, it seeks to maintain stability and uphold democratic values. The blend of natural phenomena and evolving political ideologies shapes Portugal’s future trajectory.
