The <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/03\/21\/world\/europe\/portugal-chega.html\" title=\"\">hard-right Chega party<\/a>, just a few years old, secured 18 percent of the vote to finish third.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">With no party able to assemble a majority coalition, Mr. Montenegro formed a minority government.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Last month, Portuguese newspapers reported that the prime minister\u2019s family owned a real estate and consulting company, and that among its clients was a casino operator whose concession contracts depended on government decisions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Montenegro said he had transferred his ownership stake to his wife in 2022, and had not profited directly from it since taking power. But opposition parties said the revelations raised concerns about potential serious conflicts of interest and demanded investigations, prompting the vote of confidence that the government lost on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Socialist Party, which governed from 2015 to 2024, and Chega stand to benefit from the damage to the mainstream conservatives, but both of those leading opposition parties have been accused of ethical failings of their own.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A Chega lawmaker was charged in January with stealing luggage at Lisbon\u2019s airport, and in February a senior party member was accused of paying a minor for sex, a blow to the party\u2019s law-and-order image. Both were expelled from the party.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In January 2022, the Socialist Party won an absolute majority of seats in the Parliament, enabling it to govern without coalition partners. But in November 2023, Prime Minister Ant\u00f3nio Costa\u2019s name was linked to an investigation of suspected ties between government officials and lithium and hydrogen exploration businesses, leading to his resignation and snap elections.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Costa was not charged, and has since become president of the European Council, the group of European Union heads of government, but a former chief of staff of his does face charges in the case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
