O President of the Socialist Party, Carlos César, convened, for next Saturday, October 10, a meeting of the National Party Commission to examine the proposal of the State Budget for 2027 (OE2027), as well as changes to the urban lease regime.
The information was detailed in a note shared with the media, which states that “the meeting will have as central themes the analysis of the proposed State Budget for 2027 and the position of the PS, as well as the changes to the urban lease regime proposed by the Government”.
It adds that, in the context of the lease, “the consequences of the changes for young people and families and the alternative proposals of the PS to ensure security for owners and protection for tenants will be discussed”.
It is recalled that this meeting of the party's maximum body will take place even before the meeting of the governing body, the National Political Commission, is scheduled, which will formally decide on the party's voting orientation towards the Budget.
The Socialist Secretary-General, José Luís Carneiro, announced last week the decision to propose to the party bodies that the socialists make the OE possible through abstention, emphasizing that “this is not the PS budget” and that it would be different from that presented by the government.
Already on the urban lease, Carneiro asked yesterday the Prime Minister, Luís Montenegro, not to transform the revision of the lease law into ‘a stubborn’ or ‘a party dispute’, promising to limit the impacts of the measures agreed by PSD and Enough.
The Government today handed over to the Assembly of the Republic the proposal for a State Budget for 2027, before the deadline laid down by law. It foresees an economy growth of 2.3% this year and 2.1% in 2027 and balanced accounts this year and a surplus of 0.1% in 2027.
The proposal will be discussed and voted on in general between 27 and 28 October. The overall final vote is scheduled for November 24, after the discussion process in the specialty.
