Socialist Francisco César questions Government about next European budget

Açoriano Oriental28 August 2026 at 11:15

Socialist Francisco César questioned the Government about Portugal's position in the negotiation of the European Union's Multiannual Financial Framework for the period 2028-2034. This issue arises in the context of negotiations regarding the next long-term European budget.

Francisco César, representing the PS, expressed concern about the guarantees planned to protect the interests of the Portuguese outermost regions. The Azores and Madeira face specific challenges due to their geographical location far from the European continent.

The socialist MP sought to find out what measures the Portuguese executive is taking to ensure that these regions are not harmed in the new European budget negotiations. The protection of outermost regions is a sensitive topic in discussions about the European funds available to Portugal.
