Teresa Bermúdez
[[File:Teresa and Sancha Bermúdez.jpg
thumb|Teresa and her sister Sancha in the Tumbo A cartulary Teresa Bermúdez or Vermúdez (died 25 April 1039) was a Leonese infanta (royal princess) who became a nun at the monastery of San Pelayo. She is best known for her marriage to a Muslim ruler of Toledo.
Teresa Bermúdez
Life
Life Teresa was the daughter of King Bermudo II of León and his second wife, Elvira García. She was born in 991 at the earliest and no later than 993 if she was the first child of her parents' marriage. Teresa was a signatory to at least seven surviving documents, which are the main primary sources for her life. In the first, dated 18 August 1017, she is a witness to her mother's donation to the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. On 17 December 1017, she and her sister Sancha were engaged in a lawsuit against Osorio Fróilaz over the monastery of Santa Eulalia de Fingoy. On 1 March 1028 and 27 January 1030, she made her own donations to Santiago, calling herself , 'handmaid of Christ', meaning a nun. These three documents from Santiago are preserved in the Tumbo A, the original cartulary of Santiago. She appears as a signatory to two other documents in the Tumbo A, dated 30 December 1028 and 25 August 1032. She also witnessed a diploma issued to the cathedral of Oviedo on 22 December 1037. According to Luis Alfonso de Carvallo, Teresa was the abbess of San Pelayo from 1022 until her death. This is doubtful, as no other source describes her as an abbess.
Teresa Bermúdez
Supposed marriage
Supposed marriage According to a late source, the Chronicle of the Kings of León, written by Pelayo of Oviedo between 1121 and 1132, Teresa was briefly married: After the death of her father, Teresa was given away in marriage by her brother Alfonso to a certain pagan king of Toledo for the sake of peace, although she herself was unwilling. But as she was a Christian, she said to the pagan king: "Do not touch me [], for you are a pagan. If you do touch me the Angel of the Lord will slay you." Then the king laughed at her and slept with her once and just as she had predicted he was immediately struck down by the Angel of the Lord. As he felt death approaching, he summoned his chamberlains and his councillors and ordered them to load up camels with gold, silver, gems and precious garments, and to take her back to León with all these gifts. She stayed in that place in a nun's habit for a long time, and afterwards she died in Oviedo and was buried in the monastery of San Pelayo. Given Pelayo's reputation for forging documents, scholars have long debated the reliability of this report. Although it may contain some "fantastical elements, it is unlikely to be a complete fiction." At the time of her father's death in 999, both Teresa and her brother, Alfonso V, were children. The Muslim ruler of Toledo is not identified by name by Pelayo nor is it clear if the monastery of San Pelayo where she was buried was the same one where she had spent many years as a nun. Pelayo's story was often repeated. Later in the 12th century, the Chronica Naierensis borrowed the story almost word-for-word from Pelayo. In the early 13th century, Lucas of Tuy in his Chronicon mundi clarifies that it was the nobility who negotiated the marriage, since Alfonso was a child, and that they acted in good faith, since the ruler of Toledo, Abd Allah, was pretending to be a Christian. Lucas presents Abd Allah as attacking León at the time of the proposal but promising to assist Alfonso against the Muslims after the marriage. Rodrigo Jiménez de Rada, whose account in his De rebus Hispanie is dependent on Lucas, specifically states that the marriage was part of "a treaty that had been agreed against the king of Córdoba". The Alfonsine Estoria de España, which depends on Rodrigo, erroneously dates the event to 984. The story also made its way into the romancero tradition. The 19th-century scholar Reinhart Dozy argued that the story was corroborated by Ibn Khaldun, who reports that Bermudo II handed over a daughter to Almanzor in 993. She was originally held as a slave, but afterwards he freed and married her. Dozy suggested that she was permitted to return to her brother's court after Almanzor's death in 1002. Since Almanzor is known from other sources to have married a daughter of Sancho II of Navarre who took the name Abda and since Teresa would have been an infant in 993, Ibn Khaldun was probably mistaken in identifying the father of the bride. Scholars have put forward several candidates for the ruler of Toledo. supposed that Abd Allah was in fact a rebellious governor of Toledo, but cited no sources in support of this hypothesis. Simon Barton argues that Almanzor's successor Abd al-Malik al-Muzaffar (died 1008) or his half-brother, the son of Abda, Abd al-Rahman Sanchuelo (died 1009), are good candidates for Teresa's husband.
Teresa Bermúdez
Death and commemoration
Death and commemoration Teresa's epitaph from San Pelayo was lost probably in the late 18th century, but a transcription survives. The epitaph contained eleven lines of Latin verse in a style that only became popular in the 12th century. It was probably inscribed long after her death. It dates her death to Wednesday, 25 April 1039. The accuracy of this detail—that date did fall on a Wednesday—suggests that the later epitaph may have replaced an earlier contemporary one. In the Tumbo A, Teresa is depicted twice in miniatures, once by herself and once paired with her sister Sancha. Dozy identified Teresa as the woman depicted with a crown and sceptre in one miniature, believing the artist was alluding to her status as a queen by marriage. This miniature is now considered to represent Queen Urraca.

Draft:2021–2025 Portuguese political crisis
Infobox event
The Portuguese political crisis is a period of instability in Portugal, which has seen the country face three parliamentary elections over three years: January 2022, March 2024 and May 2025. During this period, the far-right party Chega, led by André Ventura, rose from 1.3% to 22.6%, achieving a major role in the Portuguese political system.

Fall of the "Geringonça" (2019–2022)
Fall of the "Geringonça" (2019–2022) In the aftermath of the 2019 legislative election, the Socialist Party (PS) gained 108 seats, being 8 seats away from a majority. While the Unitary Democratic Coalition (CDU), who elected 12 seats, refused to sign a written agreement with PS on election night, the Left Bloc (BE), with their 19 seats, proposed a written parliamentary support agreement with the PS, which was refused by António Costa. As such, the PS formed a minority government, relying on a case-by-case agreement with the left-wing parties in order to pass major legislation.

2022 State Budget fail
2022 State Budget fail After a series of bad results from the left parties in the 2021 local elections, in October 2021, BE and PCP announced that they would vote against the government's proposed 2022 budget and President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa warned that if there was no budget, he would dissolve Parliament and call a snap election. On 27 October 2021, Parliament rejected the budget by a 117 to 108 vote, and a snap general election was called for 30 January 2022.

2022 legislative election
2022 legislative election thumb|Results of the 2022 legislative elections, held on 30 January 2022 The Socialist Party (PS) of incumbent prime minister António Costa won an unexpected absolute majority in the Assembly of the Republic, the second in the party's history. The PS received 41.5% of the vote and 118 seats, two above the minimum required for a majority. The PS won the most votes in all districts in mainland Portugal, only failing to win Madeira. Commentators considered the PS to have benefited from a transfer of the BE and the Unitary Democratic Coalition (CDU) voters to them. Costa said that his "absolute majority doesn't mean absolute power" and that he would still be open to forming a coalition, despite it no longer being a requirement to govern. He also promised reforms, saying: "The conditions have been created to carry out investments and reforms for Portugal to be more prosperous, fairer, more innovative." The Social Democratic Party (PSD) remained stable, underperforming opinion polls that had predicted a close race with the PS. The PSD won 29 percent of the vote, a slightly higher share than in 2019, and received 77 seats, two less than the previous election. The PSD was surpassed by the PS in their strongholds, such as Leiria and Viseu, and lost Bragança by only 15 votes to the PS. In the aftermath of the election, party leader Rui Rio announced he would resign from the leadership. CHEGA finished in third place, winning 12 seats and 7.2 percent of the vote. The Liberal Initiative (IL) finished in fourth place, winning 8 seats and 4.9 percent of the vote. Both parties experienced a surge of voters and made gains in this election. CHEGA leader André Ventura celebrated a "great night", though the party received more than 100,000 fewer votes than Ventura had received in the previous year's presidential election, an election in which turnout was lower. He blamed the PS majority on PSD leader Rio for not forming an alliance between the two right-wing parties and stated "From now on there won't be a soft opposition. We will assume the role of being the real opposition to the Socialists and restore dignity to this country." IL leader João Cotrim de Figueiredo also celebrated sufficient gains to form a parliamentary group, and said that his party would be a "firm opposition to socialism". Both the BE and CDU suffered losses, being surpassed by the CHEGA and IL, with 5 seats and 4.4 percent of the vote; their rejection of the 2022 budget was considered to be a factor in losing votes and seats, as well as tactical voting to avoid a PSD plurality. The CDU won 6 seats and 4.3 percent of the vote, while losing seats in Évora and Santarém districts. The Ecologist Party "The Greens" (PEV) lost all their seats for the first time. Catarina Martins of the BE blamed the PS for having created a "false crisis" that she believed had resulted in a polarised election that penalised parties to the left of the PS. She also spoke out against the gains for CHEGA. Portuguese Communist Party leader Jerónimo de Sousa made a similar statement about the PS. The CDS – People's Party (CDS–PP) lost all their seats for the first time, receiving 1.6 percent of the vote. Party leader Francisco Rodrigues dos Santos announced his resignation. Also due to tactical voting, People Animals Nature (PAN) suffered losses, winning 1 seat and 1.6 percent of the vote, 3 fewer seats than in the previous election. PAN leader Inês Sousa Real spoke of sadness after this result, and said that an absolute majority would be bad for democracy. LIVRE won 1 seat and received 1.3 percent of the vote, holding on to the single seat they won in the previous election, with party leader Rui Tavares being elected in Lisbon. Tavares pledged to get Costa to work with other left-wing parties. The voter turnout was the highest since the 2015 Portuguese legislative election, with 51.5 percent of registered voters casting a ballot.

Costa's Resignation
Costa's Resignation On 7 November 2023, the Public Security Police and the Public Prosecutor's office carried out a series of searches at the official residence of the Prime Minister and other ministries, leading to the arrest of the Prime Minister's chief of staff. Costa was named as a suspect in a corruption case involving the awarding of contracts for the lithium and hydrogen businesses, but denied any wrongdoing. He met President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa in the Presidential Palace and announced his resignation shortly after, stating that he would not run for re-election. The President heard all parties after Costa's resignation. The Socialist Party proposed a new cabinet led by President of the Assembly of the Republic Augusto Santos Silva, Governor of the Bank of Portugal Mário Centeno or by former minister António Vitorino, that would last until the end of the government's term in 2026, while all opposition parties, except PAN, supported an early election. The President has the power to dissolve the Assembly of the Republic at their discretion; they are not required to do so when a prime minister resigns. President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, after meeting with the Council of State, dissolved the assembly and called an early election for 10 March 2024. The Prime Minister's resignation was not made official immediately; it was postponed until 8 December 2023, so that the State Budget for 2024 could be approved by parliament. It was the first time a single party majority government did not complete its full term in democratic Portugal.

2024 legislative election
2024 legislative election thumb|Results of the 2024 legislative elections, held on 10 March 2024 In the closest legislative election in Portuguese history, the Democratic Alliance narrowly won, gathering 28.8 percent of the votes and winning 80 seats. The Alliance won all districts in the North Region and recovered their support in strongholds such as the districts of Leiria and Viseu. During election day, the Democratic Alliance issued a warning that many voters were casting ballots for the National Democratic Alternative (ADN) due to confusion surrounding the similar name and abbreviation on ballot papers. ADN won more than 100,000 votes, with many considering that this confusion between the names may have "stolen" seats from the Democratic Alliance. The Socialist Party (PS) won 28 percent of the votes and 78 seats. Despite the narrow margin between the Alliance and the Socialists, the PS fell 13 points and lost more than 40 seats compared with the 2022 election. On election night, leader Pedro Nuno Santos conceded defeat and said that the PS would now lead the opposition. Chega made large gains, winning 18 percent of the vote and receiving nearly 1.2 million votes. The party also won 50 seats and received the most votes in Faro district, the first time since the 1991 legislative election that a third party won a district. The Liberal Initiative (IL) held on to their eight seats and their vote share from 2022, earning 4.9 percent of the vote; however, the results were below the party's expectations. The Left Bloc (BE) also performed below expectations by retaining their five seats from 2022 and winning exactly the same vote share in 2022 at 4.4 percent. The Unitary Democratic Coalition (CDU), composed by the Portuguese Communist Party and the Ecologist Party "The Greens", lost seats. The CDU won four seats, a decrease of two compared with 2022, and just 3.2 percent of the votes, their worst nationwide electoral performance to date. The coalition further lost their historic seat in Beja district; for the first time under democratic rule, it also lost all MPs in the Alentejo region. LIVRE received almost the same number of votes as the CDU, winning 3.2 percent of the votes, and electing four seats from Lisbon, Porto and Setúbal districts. People Animals Nature (PAN) held its sole seat, held by leader Inês Sousa Real, and won 2 percent of the votes.

2025 budget crisis
2025 budget crisis With the lack of a workable majority, the AD minority government was forced to negotiate with opposition parties to pass major legislation and this created problems regarding the prospects of a budget for 2025. The Government decided to negotiate with the Socialist Party (PS), however, the odds of a positive outcome from these negotiations were slim as the PS rejected the corporate tax cuts and the proposed "Youth IRS" scheme, which would provide an income tax rate cut for young people under the age of 35, and accused the government of not giving in. President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa warned that a lack of a deal could lead to snap legislative elections, and admitted he was putting pressure on both the major parties to reach a deal. On 3 October 2024, Luís Montenegro "dropped" several parts of his government's Youth IRS scheme and corporate tax cuts by bringing his new proposals closer to policies defended by the PS, calling it an "irrefutable proposal" for the Socialists. Pedro Nuno Santos recognized the concessions made by the government, but pressed for more conditions on corporate tax cuts, mainly on their timing. The Prime Minister rejected these last conditions made by the PS, but said he was "confident" in the budget being approved by Parliament. On 17 October 2024, the general-secretary of PS, Pedro Nuno Santos, announced that the Socialist Party would abstain in the budget vote, thus ensuring the approval of the document with the sole votes of the AD coalition. On 31 October, Parliament passed the budget in its first general reading by an 80–72 vote, with the 78 PS members abstaining. On the final vote, on 29 November 2024, the budget was confirmed by a 79–72 vote, with 77 PS members abstaining.

''Spinumviva'' case
Spinumviva case On 15 February 2025, Correio da Manhã newspaper published an investigation in which it was stated that Prime Minister Luís Montenegro's family had a business with real estate interests, called Spinumviva. Montenegro confirmed the existence of the company, but denied any conflict of interest, saying he had sold his shares to his wife in 2022. Chega criticized the lack of answers from Montenegro and presented a motion of no confidence. This was rejected by Parliament by 171 against to 49 in favour. It was later revealed that Montenegro's sale of his shares to his wife was invalid, as the law does not allow share sales between spouses, thus making Montenegro still an active shareholder of the company. This raised further questions of possible conflicts of interest and Montenegro was strongly pressed to reveal the full list of clients of his business, but he refused to do this. Two weeks later, on 28 February, Expresso newspaper reported that Spinumviva has been receiving a monthly payment of 4,500 euros from one of their main clients, Solverde, a casino company, since 2021, which continued while Montenegro was Prime Minister. In the aftermath of this report, Spinumviva also disclosed the full list of clients and the services provided. Parties demanded more explanations from the Prime Minister, with Chega demanding his resignation. On the same day, Montenegro announced an emergency cabinet meeting for 1 March, to "analyze his personal and political situation". He announced that the Government would request a motion of confidence if Parliament didn't "validate" the Government. The PCP presented a motion of no confidence but the Socialist Party (PS) opposed this motion. A few days later, the Public Prosecution Service announced that it had received an anonymous tip against Luís Montenegro and his company, adding only that it was examining the complaint, while the Socialist Party also announced a Parliamentary inquiry committee to investigate the case. On 5 March, the Communists' motion was rejected, 88 votes against to 14 in favour, with 126 abstentions, but Luís Montenegro announced a vote of confidence, which was scheduled for 11 March. On 11 March 2025, Luís Montenegro's government fell after losing a vote of confidence in Parliament, 137 against with just 87 in favour. After the results of the motion were announced, President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa held meetings with party leaders on 12 March, and a Council of State meeting on 13 March. On 13 March, Rebelo de Sousa announced the dissolution of Parliament and the calling of an election for 18 May 2025.

2025 legislative election
2025 legislative election thumb|Results of the 2025 legislative elections, held on 18 May 2025 In the second legislative election in just over a year, the Democratic Alliance (AD) was re-elected with a stronger mandate, gathering 32.7 percent of the votes and winning 89 seats. The Alliance won all districts in the North Region and gained several districts from the Socialists, like Coimbra, Castelo Branco, Santarém and Lisbon. Although the AD received a higher vote share and number of seats, it did not achieve a majority. To form a coalition government with the AD, the Liberal Initiative (IL)'s 9 seats would not be sufficient, so the AD will need to work with either the Socialist Party or Chega to form a coalition, or attempt a minority government. The Socialist Party (PS) came second, receiving 23.4 percent of the votes and 58 seats. However, the party lost further ground compared with the 2024 election, making this one of the worst results in the party's 52-year history. On election night, leader Pedro Nuno Santos conceded defeat and announced his resignation as party leader, calling for a leadership ballot in which he would not be a candidate. Chega improved on its 2024 result, receiving 22.6 percent of the vote and 58 seats. The party received a plurality of votes in four districts: Faro, Beja, Setúbal and Portalegre. The Liberal Initiative (IL) slightly increased its vote share to 5.5 percent and won 9 seats, one more than in 2024. LIVRE was the only leftwing party to increase its vote share, receiving 4.2 percent and 6 seats, two more than in 2024. The Left Bloc (BE) received 2 percent of the vote and one seat, the party's worst performance, but party leader Mariana Mortágua did not resign. The Unitary Democratic Coalition (CDU), composed of the Portuguese Communist Party and the Ecologist Party "The Greens", received 3% of the vote and received three seats, one less than the previous election, the worst result since the CDU alliance formed in 1987. The People Animals Nature (PAN) held onto its single seat, held by leader Inês Sousa Real, while the Madeira-based party, Together for the People (JPP), entered Parliament with one seat from the Madeira constituency. For the first time since Portuguese democracy was restored in 1974, the two largest parties combined received less than two thirds of the seats in Parliament. All right-leaning parties combined won two-thirds of the seats in Parliament. A two-thirds majority is required for changes to the constitution, and for appointments to public bodies including the Constitutional Court.
