Summary

PS, Chega, Bloco de Esquerda (BE), PCP , Livre and PAN voted against, bringing down the government.

Liberal Initiative ( IL ) was the only opposition party to vote in favour, alongside the PSD and CDS-PP parliamentary benches that support the Portuguese executive.

Prime Minister Luís Montenegro made several appeals to the Socialist benches to find a solution that wouldn't throw Portugal into elections.

" IL 's decision is to be on the side of the Portuguese ," said the leader of the Liberals , pointing out that according to the most recent polls, voters don't want to go to elections again. "There's no doubt in my mind that the Portuguese don't want to have early elections," recognised the Prime Minister, pointing out once again that it would have been enough for the PS to abstain to avoid this crisis..
