Dand according to the budgetary framework law, the state budget proposals have to be formally delivered to the Assembly of the Republic by 10 October, but this year this day is a Saturday, which is why the deadline will extend until Monday, 12.
In addition to the first biweekly debate of this legislative session, the preparatory debate of the next European Council will also take place on 9 October.
The first plenary sessions of the new legislative session will take place next Wednesday, with the discussion of legislative initiatives by the Government on the revision of the Statute of Administrative and Tax Courts and related diplomas. The Annual Internal Security Report (RASI) will be discussed.
On the 16th, the proposal for parliamentary inquiry by the Left Block on the implications of the Ministry of Education's national examination process will be considered.
On September 17, the plenary will be filled with a topical debate required by Livre on online gambling and betting in Portugal.
For the spokesperson for Livre, Isabel Mendes Lopes, it is essential to insist on the regulation of online gambling and betting, considering that it is a “absolutely predatory practice” that results in a “public health problem”.
For the last week of September, on the 23rd, the conference of leaders scheduled a topical debate required by the PCP on the beginning of the school year.
In statements to journalists, at the end of the meeting of the conference of leaders, the chairman of the PCP bench, Paula Santos, stressed the start of the new school year as one of the priority areas for the start of the legislative session.
Criticizing the “chaotic form” as the process of digital correction of national examinations took place, Paula Santos said that the next school year is being prepared “and what has been published is already of enormous concern, since the lack of teachers, with many times that are not filled” or the lack of specialized technicians.
The Communist parliamentary leader also warned of costs that still have “a very significant burden on families”, in a context of rising inflation.
On the 24th of the same month, there will be a potential schedule of the Arrivo Parliamentary Group still without known theme. On the 25th, health initiatives from the Government and the PSD will be discussed. For this same day, the PS scheduled a draft resolution on measures to be adopted in relation to the cost of living.
Also on September 25, in the plenary of the Parliament we discuss a diploma of the Liberal Initiative regarding the transparency of the operation of RTP and a parliamentary assessment requested by the Free on the organic of INEM (National Institute of Medical Emergency).
Isabel Mendes Lopes said that this request for parliamentary consideration regarding the new organic law of INEM was made with the Left Block and PCP. In its view, the government diploma did not have the necessary public scrutiny.
On the last day of September, the debate on the government's legislative authorization to revise the urban lease regime is planned. A bill of the Party also goes up to plenary Arrives regarding the pensions of former combatants and an initiative of the PSD regarding the mandatory use of the helmet for those who guide electric scooters.
