Luís Montenegro's slim parliamentary majority leaves him in the hands of the opposition for all issues that require approval of the Chamber. The Socialist Party abstained and did not align itself with the rest of the left.
Montenegro heard criticism from almost all parties for its lack of dialogue despite its precarious majority. The 60 opposition measures (including 32 socialists and 13 from Chega) that have been incorporated into the Government program are of little relevance and have not been negotiated with anyone. The most thunderous part of his speech was reserved for immigration and the 50 years of the Carnation Revolution. "The Portuguese do not want to celebrate April or carnations, they want their children not to be assaulted," Montenegro said in his inauguration speech on Friday. The elimination of the Foreign and Borders Service was agreed upon after the controversial death in Ukrainian Igor Homeniuk's offices at the Lisbon airport of three inspectors, who were convicted by three inspectors for the incident. The Portuguese National lands, abolished by the previous Government and replaced by a migration and asylum agency, abolished in 2023.
