Abstract

Portugal’s three-year international bailout (2011-2014) compelled the legislator to a very strict austerity program, which lead to unpopular public policies and stressed the social fabric. In 2016, the country was able to meet the EU Stability and Growth Pact deficit rules and, on June 2017, left the excessive deficit procedure.

Keywords: excessive deficit procedure; populism; justice system; elections; metadata
