Center-right party claims narrow win in Portuguese election
LISBON — Portugal's center-right has claimed a narrow election victory, but has little chance of forming a majority government.Democratic Alliance leader Luís Montenegro told supporters that the Portuguese had voted for change, although the margin of victory was less than convincing.Both main parties polled about 29% of the vote.Only the far-right Chega could claim a clear-cut success.Five years after it broke into Portuguese politics, the party led by former football pundit André Ventura has secured 18% of the vote and 48 seats in the 230-seat parliament.Political commentators say Portugal is facing its most fragmented parliament since the end of its dictatorship half a century ago.Ten million Portuguese had the chance to cast their vote in Sunday's snap election, four months...

Pope sparks anger after saying Ukraine should have ‘courage of the white flag’ and negotiate
VATICAN — Pope Francis has sparked anger after saying Ukraine should have the “courage of the white flag” and negotiate to end the war with Russia.In an interview with Swiss broadcaster Radio Télévision Suisse (RTS) published on Saturday, Francis was asked whether he thinks negotiations would “legitimize the stronger party.”“That is one interpretation,” he replied. “But I believe that the stronger one is the one who sees the situation, who thinks of the people, who has the courage of the white flag, to negotiate.” The pope added, “and today, negotiations are possible with the help of international powers.”The comments brought a swift response from Kyiv, which has seen tens of thousands killed and is seeking to recapture all its territory seized by Russia.“Our flag...

Portugal votes in election where far right could play kingmaker
LISBON — Portugal has gone to the polls, in a vote that will either keep the center-left in power or shift the country to the right.Opinion polls suggest neither the Socialists nor the opposition center-right is likely to win outright.This could leave the far-right Chega party as kingmaker, although mainstream rivals have vowed to sideline it.The election comes four months after Antonio Costa's resignation as prime minister over corruption allegations.Costa was not named as a suspect, but investigators arrested his chief of staff over alleged irregularities in state contracts.The case has handed ammunition to André Ventura, who leads the Chega (Enough) party and has focused his campaign on corruption and immigration.Despite economic growth under the Socialists, Portuguese voters...
