AI Summary:
Portugal’s centre-right government loses confidence vote in parliament. Lawmakers voted 142-88, with zero abstentions, against the motion of confidence Montenegro presented. Portuguese media reported allegations that the firm had contracts with several private companies rely on government contracts. Pedro Nuno Santos, the leader of the Socialist Party, described the government’s conduct as “shameful”. Montenegro became prime minister after socialist Antonio Costa resigned in November 2023 under the shadow of a corruption probe. A centrist pact between Montenegro’s Social Democrats and the Socialists was the only solution, despite the differences in their policy proposals. The two main rivals only had such an accord in parliament once, between 1983 and 1985.
