Opposition
[edit]The Portuguese Communist Party (PCP) introduced a motion to reject[3] the new government’s program, but it was defeated in Parliament. Only PCP, BE, and Livre supported the communist motion, while all major parties, including PSD, PS, Chega, IL, and CDS, voted against.
Prime Minister Luís Montenegro stated the government is now “legitimized” and ready to focus on solving people’s problems and boosting the economy.
Shadow Cabinet of André Ventura
[edit]Two days after the 2025 legislative elections, André Ventura, leader of Chega, now the second largest party in Parliament, announced his intention to form a shadow cabinet.[4] On 19 September 2025, Ventura finally announced the names of the Shadow Cabinet,[5][6] which met for the first time on 15 October 2025.[7]
