Portugal's president invites caretaker PM to lead new government

Portugal will continue to be led by a minority government after the election a week and a half ago. In Parliament, the Prime Minister is threatened with a blockade.

Portugal's President Marcelo Rebelo de Suza again named Luisha Montenegra as prime minister, who with the death of the Right-Democratic Union received the highest votes in the interim parliamentary elections on 18 May.

After the third election in three years, everything in Portugal remains the same. There is a threat of a political standstill, because a majority in Parliament does not appear even after the election.
