Parish junta presidents warned the socialist leader that they do not intend to lose power within the Municipal Assemblies. This concern arises in the context of discussions about changes in the local power structure in Portugal.
Socialist Party local officials met to debate changes in local power, expressing their concerns about the balance of powers between the different levels of territorial governance.
During the meeting, local officials requested an increase in financial resources to address the growing competencies that have been transferred to local authorities. This request aims to ensure that municipalities have sufficient resources to take on new responsibilities.
The socialist local officials also defended regionalization as a solution for better territorial organization of the country, arguing that this reform could strengthen local governance and service delivery to citizens.
