Portugal’s president has asked centre-right politician Luís Montenegro to lead a minority government after his Democratic Alliance party won the most recent election but fell short of a parliamentary majority. Montenegro, who has refused to work with the far-right Chega party, will need the support of either the Socialists or Chega to pass legislation. This marks a significant shift in Portuguese politics, with the country facing its most divided parliament in decades.
