Right-wing dictatorship coming to Portugal?

Many of the world's leading nations are rejecting right-wing tyranny. Canadian voters, for instance, just ousted Stephen Harper's Conservative Party following 9 years of Harper's authoritarian temper tantrums. And in Greece, the left-leaning SYRIZA has emerged victorious on repeated occasions this year.

But now that a left-leaning coalition has cleaned up in Portugal's parliamentary elections, President Aníbal Cavaco Silva is barring the coalition from taking power because he doesn't like its views. He says the conservative minority should be allowed to stay in power just to appease the European Union, its authoritarian austerity program, and Big Business. He objects to the new coalition's support of Portugal dropping the euro as its currency.

All this in "democratic" Europe. The EU's stated policy says member nations must have democratic governments, but we know that's a sham, after the EU tolerated Italy's right-wing dictator Silvio Berlusconi. And make no mistake, Berlusconi was a dictator. If, say, Russia or China had a leader like that, people would admit it was a dictatorship. Why is it any different for an EU country? And why should it be any different if it happens in Portugal now?
