The Vila-real plenary closes ranks and demands that the regional government maintain the Family Meeting Point in the city

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General31 August 2026 at 13:04

The Vila-real City Council approved unanimously this Monday a mayoral proposal to demand that the regional government maintain the Family Meeting Point (PEF) in the city. The decision comes after the announcement that the regional government intends to replace the current location with a new point in Onda, as part of the regional planning for the 2026-2028 period.

The PEF in Vila-real currently provides services to citizens residing in the municipalities that are part of the judicial districts of Vila-real and Nules. The municipal corporation plenary closed ranks to try to prevent the city from losing this essential resource.

The mayoral proposal was approved with the favorable vote of all political parties represented on the city council, demonstrating a unanimous position of the city on this issue. The city council hopes that the Department of Social Services, Family and Childhood will reconsider its decision and maintain the service in Vila-real.

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.
