"The hard-right populist party Chega" leader Andre Ventura gestures while addressing media and his supporters, following Portugal's general election, in Lisbon, Monday, May 19, 2025.
LISBON, Portugal (AP) -- Portugal's president was due to convene the country's political parties for consultations on Monday, after a general election delivered another minority government as well as a strong showing by populist party Chega (Enough) that added momentum to Europe's shift to the far-right.
The center-right Democratic Alliance, led by the Social Democratic Party, captured 89 seats in the 230-seat National Assembly to win Sunday's ballot. The outcome leaves it without a parliamentary majority, however, and vulnerable to opposition parties that ousted it two months ago in a confidence vote after less than a year in power.
