Voters in Portugal go to the polls Sunday in an early election that could see the country join a shift to the right seen across Europe after eight years of Socialist rule.

Socialist rule? What countries are those? AFAIK it’s been more like

NL: right to ultra right
BE: center to center right
FR: center
DE: center to center left(ish)
NO: right
SV: center left to right
etc

so enlighten me about this “socialist rule”.

I think that refers to Portugal being ruled by the Socialist party for 8 years

Actually in any sane country the Portuguese Socialist party would be considered neoliberal
