The original text of the Constitution of 1976 was definetely socialist, it called for the construction of a classless society, but since the 1982 revision, it has been changed to tone down their original ideological content. Since 1982, the references to socialism have been replaced, the Constitution doesn`t call anymore for socialism, at least since the 1989 revision. Since the Constitution revisions have to be approved by a 2/3 majority in the Portuguese Assembly of the Republic, by the largest parties, center-right PSD and center-left PS, it makes sense that the current text of the Constitution has become centrist, its socialist content started to be changed when the first revision was done in 1982, and it mostly disappeared in the 1989 revision. The only reference to socialism that remains in the Constitution, for historical reasons, since it can`t be changed, appears at the Preamble. The Portuguese Constitution currently starts this way: "Artigo 1/ República Portuguesa/ Portugal é uma República soberana, baseada na dignidade da pessoa humana e na vontade popular e empenhada na construção de uma sociedade livre, justa e solidária." "Article 1/ Portuguese Republic/ Portugal is a sovereign Republic, based on the dignity of the human person and the popular will and committed to the construction of a free, just and solidary society."

@Mistico: I see that you removed Portugal and the comment from this template, I have undone this. This isn't something to be discussed here, a country's inclusion or removal should be discussed and decided at Talk:List of socialist states (as the comment stated). If it is removed from that list the same would be done here.

PS: The list includes any country whose constitution makes any reference to socialism and Portugal's preamble does hence its inclusion but this should be discussed there. Gotitbro (talk) 05:16, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The preamble isn' part of the Constitution, so your claim is irrelevant. The Constitution isn't socialist in a long time. This is 100% correct.Mistico (talk) 19:30, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Glide08: Can you please explain the basis of this template? Thanks. Adamgerber80 (talk) 12:15, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's supposed to be a complementary to Template:Current Communist rulers. Since Template:Current Communist rulers lists all leaders of Socialist States that are listed as Marxist-Leninist in List of socialist states, this template lists all leaders of Socialist States that are listed as Non-Marxist-Leninist in List of socialist states.

This, to me, seems like an overkill. It might be better to merge this with Template:Current Communist rulers and maybe encompass all into one along the lines of Current Head of States and then sort them based on types. Adamgerber80 (talk) 19:25, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why is the Kingdom of Spain is in this template ? I'm pretty sure it's not socialist. I get that the Socialist party is currently in power, but still. Forest576 (talk) 15:53, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
