💨 Abstract

Portugal's center-right minority government lost a parliamentary confidence vote, increasing the likelihood of a third early parliamentary election in three years. Prime Minister Luis Montenegro called the vote after opposition parties threatened an inquiry into his family's data protection consultancy, Spinumviva. The opposition argues that contracts with private companies have benefited Montenegro, while he denies any conflict of interest.
