A record 2,864 proposed changes to the 2027 State Budget, led by Chega (712) and PCP (653), range from fuel VAT and rent deductions to mortgage interest relief. None is law yet: each needs a majority before the final vote on 24 November.
Carneiro left São Bento accusing Montenegro of intransigence: no fresh start on the rental law and no end to the 2,300 euro moderate rent. He reported openness on a capital gains exemption for second homes and higher IMT for non-resident buyers. What happens next.
José Luís Carneiro says the 2027 budget deserved a no vote but the PS will abstain to avoid a political crisis. With 91 government seats against at most 81, it should clear the general vote on 27 and 28 October; the final vote is on 24 November.
The Government and the PSD, Chega, IL and CDS-PP MPs declare 1,039 properties worth over 55 million euros, Público reports. Owning property is legal; here is what officeholders must disclose and what the MPs' statute says about voting with an interest.
PSD, CDS-PP and Chega carried two bills making non-residents pay or show cover for SNS care, with emergencies treated first. Neither is law yet. Residence permit holders keep access; how pending AIMA cases fare is unsettled. BE's bid to end user charges failed.
PSD and CDS-PP would drop undocumented migrants from the list of SNS beneficiaries; Chega would also make non-EU visitors and pending asylum seekers pay. Emergency care would still be given first. Legal residents keep their access under every bill.
Rita Matias and Madalena Cordeiro led party members into the Rádio Universidade de Coimbra studio during a live debate the students' union had barred Chega from attending. The PSP has identified Matias.
