Portugal will have early elections on May 18, the third in just three years, after the parliament overthrew the minority government of the center-right of Prime Minister Luis Montenegro in a vote of confidence.
The collapse can delay some important decisions, including a plan to privatize the state airline TAP this year and infrastructure investments.
The government of Montenegro, who took office less than a year ago, also intended to increase defense spending, as well as other European nations.
