Parliament debates Government's 2027 State Budget proposal amid housing protests
The Parliament holds a debate on the 2027 State Budget (OE2027) on Tuesday 27 October and Wednesday 28 October, with approval guaranteed by the PS party's abstention. Following the initial vote on Wednesday 28 October, the proposal moves to the specialty stage, including hearings with ministers and entities from Thursday 29 October until 6 November.
Why it matters
While this is a parliamentary debate on national budget projections, the approval of the 2027 budget will set the government's fiscal, housing, and social spending policy for the coming year; the protests scheduled for Tuesday 27 October outside the Assembly of the Republic may cause localized disruptions in the São Bento area of Lisbon.Correio da ManhãRead original ↗
