JPP says new postponement of second aerial asset arrival is "unacceptable"

SAPO Notícias31 August 2026 at 13:16

JPP considers "unacceptable" that the Regional Government continues to make promises about the arrival of a second aerial asset to Madeira for firefighting. The party classifies the situation as a "succession of promises" that has been dragging on for some time.

According to JPP, the promises began with a date for 2025, then were postponed to July 2026, and now point to November. This sequence of postponements led the party to criticizing publicly the regional government's handling of this matter.

The JPP party is the main interlocutor of this criticism, directly addressing the Regional Executive with its dissatisfaction regarding what it considers to be a lack of compliance with commitments made.

This episode falls within the broader context of Madeira's preparation for fire season, where the availability of aerial assets is considered fundamental for effective firefighting in the region.

Government reserves R$ 44.8 billion for parliamentary amendments in 2027

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.
