Budget for 2027: Livre wants national mobility pass and reinforcement of family allowance

Expresso13 September 2026 at 15:28

Livre presented its proposals for the State Budget for 2027, highlighting two main measures: the creation of a national mobility pass and the reinforcement of family allowance. The party's spokesperson, Rita Veloso, was responsible for advancing these measures during the budget discussion.

The Livre leader also made a direct appeal to PSD, asking the social democrats to break off any dialogue with Chega. This is not the first time the party has made this request, having already made a similar appeal during the debate on the motion of censure against the Government.

The State Budget for 2027 is currently under discussion in the Assembly of the Republic, where parties present their amendment proposals and political priorities for the coming year.

Why this matters

As budget negotiations approach, Livre's proposals on mobility and family support directly affect Portuguese families and commuters. The appeal to PSD to break with Chega reflects political tensions around the formation of government majorities, a topic that directly impacts readers as citizens and taxpayers.
