Portugal's ruling Social Democrats (PSD) said on Saturday their coalition government would press on with meeting the country's economic bailout goals after talks on a broader political deal sought by the president collapsed.
Reigniting a three-week-old political crisis, the two centre-right coalition parties and main opposition Socialists broke off talks on Friday on a "national salvation" pact to ensure an EU/IMF bailout stays on track, leaving it to the president to decide how to proceed.
President Anibal Cavaco Silva will make a televised statement on Sunday at 8:30 p.m. (1930 GMT), the president's office said. It would not provide any details.
