It's right there in the first paragraph. It's an unsurprising move for groups closer to centricity than to want to support extremism.

To stop the explosive growth of the ultranationalist Chega party, Portugal’s leading conservatives are doing the previously unthinkable: endorsing the center-left candidate for president.

Centrists may be the biggest blockers of everything. But that includes everything.
