Luís Montenegro has been appointed as the Prime Minister of Portugal after his center-right party's narrow election win.

Montenegro's Social Democratic Party secured 80 out of 230 seats, lacking a clear parliamentary majority.

The hard-right Chega party, with 50 seats, has shown significant gains and is seeking influence in governance.

Chega's leader, Andre Ventura, has threatened to disrupt key votes if the party's demands are ignored.

Montenegro is scheduled to present his government team on March 28 and be inaugurated on April 2.

Discussions with the EU included Portugal's commitment and economic development, highlighting the PRR's role in the country's economy.

Challenges loom for the new minority government with potential legislative hurdles due to the demands from the hard-right Chega party.

Augusto Santos Silva, a prominent figure, lost his seat, showcasing shifts in Portuguese political dynamics.
