SB: two PS conditions resolved, two pending

Observador29 August 2026 at 13:23

Two of the four conditions set by the PS for the viability of the 2027 State Budget already have an answer. These are the matters related to pensions and the Recovery and Resilience Plan, which were resolved within the framework of negotiations between the Government and the party.

The two conditions that remain unresolved are support for storm victims and, mainly, the issue of the limits of constitutional revision, considered the most complex and sensitive of all demands made by the PS.

The 2027 State Budget thus continues to depend on these negotiations, with the Executive needing to secure PS support for the approval of the document in the Assembly of the Republic.
