Louis Montenegro calls for an extraordinary meeting of council of ministers. He declined to comment on wether he will leave his post and said he will communicate his decision to the country tomorrow, after analyzing "personal, professional and political conditions".
Portuguese Prime Minister PortugalLuís Montenegro faces the first major political and personal crisis since taking office in April 2024.
The weekly “Expresso” revealed in today’s edition that the company Solverde pays 4,500 euros per month for the consulting firm Spinumviva, founded by Montenegro and controlled by its family.
In fact, the prime minister summoned the council of ministers in an extraordinary way for tomorrow. At 8 p.m., he will make a statement after analyzing the situation with the government.
Luís Montenegro has conceded to the pressure building up against him to announce that he will be speaking to the country about the family company that has taken up so much of the national news space in recent days.
He has called an extraordinary Council of Ministers for tomorrow, and has assured reporters clamouring after this ‘story’ that he “will announce (his) decision to close this matter once and for all”.
Today, he is in Porto, and very much involved in the state visit of French president Emmanuel Macron.
