Populism and political correctness have become more and more prevalent in Western societies and consequently in Portugal. We can see this phenomenon in the increase in support for the radical right-wing political force in the Portuguese 2019, 2022 and 2024 Portuguese elections. In this way, we set out on an exploratory study to find out how certain social and political factors and agreement with populist attitudes can influence disagreement with political correctness. We carried out an online survey of people of legal age living in the municipality of Lisbon and obtained 225 valid responses multiple linear regression to analyse the data. It was possible to observe that people who do not consider themselves feminists; who prefer to be represented by a citizen rather than a politician; who argue that politicians talk too much and do too little; that politicians in Parliament should be governed by the will of the people and who negatively perceive the effect of immigration on the social economy, are more likely to disagree with political correctness. These results may be due to the discourse topics of the populist radical right in Portugal, but future studies are needed to understand these results.
