After the general election: will Portugal become ungovernable?
Quick Glance: Right-Wing Shift in Portugal - Snap Election Possible
  • Portugal shifted significantly to the right in the parliamentary election, with the conservative alliance as the winner and the Socialists experiencing losses.

  • The right-wing populist party Chega made significant gains and is seen as a potential kingmaker.

  • A grand coalition between PS and AD is unlikely, with Montenegro likely to rely on agreements with smaller parties.

  • The election reflected social and economic issues such as housing shortages and inflation, which fueled the shift towards the right.

Luis Montenegro emerges Portugal prime minister
Quick Glance: Portugal: Luis Montenegro Named New Prime Minister
  • Portugal’s president has named Luis Montenegro, head of the centre-right Democratic Alliance (AD), as the country’s new prime minister and invited him to form a minority government.

  • Montenegro, a 51-year-old lawyer and longtime parliamentarian, will succeed the Socialist Party’s Antonio Costa, who held office since 2015 and was forced to resign in November following corruption allegations.

  • The AD alliance campaigned on promises to boost Portugal’s economy by cutting taxes after soaring inflation and living costs hit last year.

  • The Chega party demanded involvement in the government formation, warning of instability if the AD continued to reject a coalition. Montenegro's party, however, plans to govern alone and only make piecemeal deals with other parties.
