PS will "evaluate" Chega's proposals to reduce fuel VAT. PSD fears "cross-voting"

RTP Notícias10 September 2026 at 14:30

PS announced it will "evaluate" the proposals presented by Chega to reduce VAT on fuels and eliminate VAT on the food basket. The party assures that its stance will be determined only after learning the details of the proposed measures.

MP Carlos Pereira, in statements to RTP Antena 1, stated: "It's a matter of evaluating, we'll see what to do at the time", demonstrating a cautious approach from PS regarding Chega's initiatives.

PSD expressed concerns about possible "cross-voting" between parties, suggesting worry about legislative support dynamics between political forces with different ideological positions.

Chega's proposals emerge within the context of debate on measures to support citizens' purchasing power, with the reduction of taxation on fuels and food products constituting the central focus of the party's presented initiatives.

Government proposes new legal framework for youth associativism

The Portuguese Government submitted to parliament a bill to establish a new legal framework for youth associativism, which aims to replace Law No. 23/2006, considered outdated given the current dynamics of the youth associative movement. The proposal includes significant changes to the financing model, now valuing the effective execution of activities, the quality of projects and local impact. It also establishes new requirements for access to public support, such as the absence of debts to the tax administration, Social Security or IPDJ, and the requirement for organized accounting for entities with applications exceeding 100 thousand euros. The proposal defines limits for the number of leaders who can benefit from the Young Associative Leader Statute, according to the size of the associations, and creates a Monitoring Committee to monitor the implementation of the framework. The recognition of federations now requires constitution by at least 60% of the represented associations.
