LISBON, Portugal — Portugal elected its conservative president to a second term Sunday, delivering a harsh political setback to the minority Socialist government that is struggling to contain an acute economic crisis.
Anibal Cavaco Silva, who is supported by the main opposition Social Democratic Party, collected 53 percent of the vote compared with 20 percent for second-placed Socialist Party candidate Manuel Alegre, official figures showed, with 98 percent of districts returning.
