Montenegro is "the biggest loser", "have been months to forget" for the Government

CNN Portugal8 September 2026 at 10:15

Prime Minister Montenegro is described as "the biggest loser" in a political context marked by difficulties for the Government. CNN Portugal commentator Filipe Santos Costa analyses the data that shows the drop in governance approval.

According to the analysis, the parties PS, Chega and AD are in a technical tie in voting intentions. However, AD loses ground compared to the results of the previous legislative elections.

The Executive led by Montenegro faces a low approval rate, with only 35% of respondents approving the Government's action. Filipe Santos Costa highlights that "it has been months to forget" for the Government, according to the interpretation of the available numbers.
