💨 Abstract

Portugal's Prime Minister Luis Montenegro proposed a confidence vote for his year-old minority government, risking dismissal as opposition parties pledged to defeat him. The crisis centers around a consultancy firm owned by Montenegro's family, accused of benefiting the premier. Montenegro denies conflict of interest. If lawmakers reject the motion, a caretaker government will form pending a decision on fresh elections, likely to be held in May.
