The 11th Legislature of the Third Portuguese Republic (Portuguese: XI Legislatura da Terceira República Portuguesa) ran from 15 October 2009 to 31 March 2011. The composition of the Assembly of the Republic, the legislative body of Portugal, was determined by the results of the 2009 legislative election, held on 27 September 2009.
After the Fourth Stability and Growth Program, presented by the Socialist Party Government, failed to achieve a majority in Parliament, Prime Minister José Sócrates resigned and President Aníbal Cavaco Silva dissolved the Assembly of the Republic, calling a snap election in June 2011.[1]
