IL accuses PSD of "trying to buy voters' votes" and of "electoral raffle" with income tax cut

Público14 September 2026 at 13:38

The party Liberal Initiative (IL) accused PSD of "trying to buy voters' votes" and of promoting an "electoral raffle" with the income tax reduction proposal. The accusation was made by the parliamentary leader of IL.

IL considers that there is a majority of "deadlocks" in parliament that is preventing the pursuit of reforms the country needs. This situation is blocking the implementation of structural changes.

The parliamentary leader of IL welcomed Passos Coelho for highlighting the importance of promoting changes in the country. This recognition comes in the context of the debate on political direction and legislative priorities.

Why this matters

Portuguese readers are directly affected by these accusations between opposition parties, which reveal tensions about the viability of fiscal proposals and the political blockage that prevents reforms. The debate on income tax reduction has concrete implications for taxpayers' wallets, making it important to understand who proposes what and with what intentions.

Court gives reason to Passinha residents: Alenquer City Hall has 10 days to ban trucks at night

The Administrative Court of Lisbon Circle gave reason to the residents of Rua dos Bons Amigos, in Passinha, in Alenquer, condemning the City Council to prohibit the circulation of heavy vehicles during the nighttime period within 10 days. The sentence considers it proven that more than 300 trucks cross that street daily to access the Santos e Vale logistics center, a number much higher than the 26 vehicles estimated in the 2016 traffic study. The court found the damages to homes and health effects on residents, including sleep deprivation, to be demonstrated, and considered that the municipality never monitored traffic nor took measures to limit circulation. The total ban was not ordered because no alternative route was proven to exist, but the mayor, João Nicolau, may be personally condemned to daily fines if he does not comply with the decision. The municipality and Santos e Vale were also condemned to pay the costs of the process and may appeal.
