The Government of Portugal (Portuguese: Governo de Portugal) is one of the four sovereignty bodies of the Portuguese Republic, together with the President of the Republic, the Assembly of the Republic and the courts. The government is responsible for the general politics of the country and is the superior body of the Portuguese public administration.
After the elections for the Assembly of the Republic or the resignation of the previous government, the president listens to the parties in the Assembly of the Republic and invites someone to form a government.
The prime minister chooses members of the council of ministers. Then the president swears in the prime minister and the Government.
Each government is identified by a roman number. The March 2022 government is the XXIII Constitutional Government of Portugal since the establishment of the current democratic regime in 1976.[1]
