The motion of confidence in the Portuguese government was rejected by Parliament, leading to the government's downfall. Various parties, including PS, Chega, BE, PCP, Livre, and PAN, voted against it, while IL, PSD, and CDS-PP supported it. Prime Minister Luís Montenegro attempted to negotiate with the opposition but was met with resistance. The PS insisted on a parliamentary inquiry and rejected the government's proposal for a shorter inquiry period. The debate lasted nearly five hours before the motion was voted down, marking a significant political crisis. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
