André Ventura, leader of the Chega party, highlighted the budgetary priorities of his parliamentary bench. The politician publicly defended that, given what he considered to be an "epidemic of criminality" in the country, a significant reinforcement of the budget destined for security is necessary.
Ventura's position emerges in the context of debates about State Budget priorities, where the party seeks to influence the allocation of public resources to areas it considers essential.
The Chega leader has been positioning security as one of his political flags, seeking to distinguish himself from the remaining parties in defending stricter policies in the fight against crime.
The statement occurs at a time when budgetary negotiations mobilize the different political forces, with André Ventura seeking to mark territory in discussions about the future financing of the security forces.
