Portugal's new government clears first hurdles in parliament

Portugal's parliament voted down two motions put forward by hard-left parties against the minority centre-right government's inaugural legislative programme on Friday, clearing the first hurdle for the administration of Prime Minister Luis Montenegro. Despite the widely expected successful investiture, analysts say his government will be highly unstable as it will constantly require complex negotiations with the opposition in a fragmented parliament to pass legislation. The Communist Party and the Left Bloc, with just nine seats between them in the 230-seat parliament, had presented the motions to reject the government plan, which promises to maintain balanced budgets and keep reducing the public debt, while relying on lower taxes to boost growth.

Portugal's Catholic Church to compensate sexual abuse victims

FATIMA, Portugal (Reuters) -Portugal's Catholic Church said on Thursday it will financially compensate victims of child sexual abuse within the Church, setting the amounts to be paid on a case-by-case basis, an approach survivors' groups have criticised. Members of Portugal's Bishops' Conference (CEP) have been meeting since Monday at the Shrine of Fatima in central Portugal to discuss the compensation, among other issues. The report's authors said their findings were the "tip of the iceberg", and commission head Pedro Strecht added that more than 100 priests suspected of child sexual abuse remained active in Church roles.
