AI Summary:
Portugal's minority government in danger of falling as parliament prepares to vote on confidence motion. Under Portuguese Constitution, the government's defeat in a confidence vote triggers its collapse. That would bring Portugal’s third general election in three years at a time when Europe’s security and economy are under threat. An election would pitch the European Union country of 10.6 million people into months of political uncertainty just as it is investing more than 22 billion euros ($24 billion) in EU development funds. Portugal has also been caught up in a rising European tide of populism. Voter discontent with a return to the polls could play into the hands of the Chega (Enough) party.
