Portugal's new PM, Luis Montenegro, seeks opposition party support for his minority government to approve budgets.
Portugal's new Prime Minister, Luis Montenegro, has called for opposition parties to engage in discussions with his center-right minority government, which requires backing from other parties to approve budgets. The government, with 80 seats in the 230-seat legislature, faces challenges in pushing through transformative measures to boost the economy and living standards, potentially requiring compromises with key policies to gain enough support. The 2025 budget is expected to be a significant test for Montenegro's administration.
