Portugal Goes to the Polls This Sunday with a Right -Wing Prime Minister Who Resigned as a Favorite in the Polls - Global Happenings
- Portugal holds an early parliamentary election on Sunday, May 18, 2025, to fill all 230 seats in the Assembly of the Republic.
- Prime Minister Luis Montenegro triggered this early election after losing a confidence vote linked to the Spinumviva consultancy scandal involving his family.
- Montenegro leads a right-wing minority government that held 80 seats, facing a strong challenge from the Socialist Party and the far-right Chega, which won 50 seats in 2024.
- Polls show the Democratic Alliance coalition, led by Montenegro's Social Democratic Party, at about 34 percent, while a third of voters consider Spinumviva irrelevant to their vote.
- The election is expected to produce a similarly divided parliament, with corruption perceptions influencing some voters but not decisively affecting Montenegro’s support.
