Constitutional review, parental leave and domestic violence among the topics of the parliamentary "rentrée"

Euronews Portugal15 September 2026 at 07:02

The Portuguese parliament resumes this Tuesday after the summer holiday period. The session marks the beginning of the new legislative phase, known as the parliamentary "rentrée".

Among the topics in highlight are constitutional review, parental leave and domestic violence. These matters are among the priorities that will shape the agenda of the coming months in the Assembly of the Republic.

The contribution on oil companies' profits also appears as one of the topics in highlight this rentrée. This question has been the subject of public debate and should be addressed by the deputies.

Additionally, the creation of an inquiry committee into Luís Neves' mandates at the head of the Judicial Police is planned. This oversight body will be responsible for investigating the performance of the former PJ director during his term.

Why this matters

Portuguese citizens will be affected by the decisions made on the topics under discussion, including possible changes to parental rights and the fight against domestic violence. The inquiry committee into the Judicial Police may have implications for confidence in the country's security and justice institutions.
