BE accuses Santa Cruz City Hall of having lost more than 60 million euros for housing

SAPO Notícias31 August 2026 at 10:32

The Left Block accused the Santa Cruz City Council of having lost more than 60 million euros intended for housing. This is the party's main criticism of the municipality's actions in this area.

The Left Block members consider that the Municipal Housing Charter, which is currently under public consultation, does not constitute an adequate response to the main housing problems of the municipality. In other words, the party understands that the document, as it stands, does not resolve the housing difficulties faced by residents.

The Left Block's position emerges as a negative assessment of municipal management in housing matters, questioning both the loss of available funds and the effectiveness of the measures proposed by the Santa Cruz executive to address the housing crisis in the territory.

The Lula government reserved R$ 44.8 billion for parliamentary amendments in the 2027 Annual Budget Bill (PLOA), an increase of R$ 4 billion compared to the proposal for 2026. The amount is expected to be higher after Congressional approval, since in 2026, R$ 40.8 billion was reserved, but the approved amount reached R$ 50 billion. Mandatory amendments are those the government is obligated to pay, while non-mandatory ones depend on available space in the Budget. There are three types of amendments: individual, from state delegations, and from committees, each with its own rules for distribution and application.
