💨 Abstract

Portugal's center-right government led by Prime Minister Luis Montenegro has announced a motion of confidence, despite opposition, on Thursday. The vote is scheduled for next Tuesday. Montenegro proposed this move to avoid his dismissal and a third early election in less than four years. The political crisis stems from a consultancy firm owned by Montenegro's family, which the opposition alleges has benefited the premier.
