Founded in April 2019, Chega presented itself to the country to defend "decent Portuguese people", to "destroy" the "system", to "cleanse" Portugal of "bandits", to "expel" immigrants and to establish the "Fourth Republic".

Forged in sensationalism, the party that climbed the ladder of power to become the second largest parliamentary force in 2025 proved to be a political project dominated by contradictions, scandals, vendettas and unbridled ambitions. Provocative in all the political lines it presents, it brought polarization to democratic life, rode on prejudices and contributed to the extremism of society.

But who finances Chega? What intrigues does it hide? What do the behind-the-scenes reveal? To what international networks is it connected? How does it coexist with nostalgics of the dictatorship and neo-Nazis? What profiles, trajectories and methods dispute internal influence? How did it attract voters from other parties? What religious and political currents dispute power? How does it use and reinterpret the past and present to win over vulnerable social sectors, young people and neglected areas of the country?

This is the investigation that reveals the hidden face of Chega.

Using thousands of pages of unpublished documents and dozens of exclusive interviews with founders, funders, current and former leaders and militants, "Inside Chega" is, above all, a portrait of the party by those who created and built it. Unfiltered.

Miguel Carvalho, an award-winning journalist, takes the reader on a journey into the heart of the populist radical right and "Chega's country", highlighting the consequences of its choices and political practices for the democratic regime.
