OE, Court of Auditors, housing and PSU. The hot topics of MPs' return

Jornal de Negócios15 September 2026 at 08:40

The Portuguese Parliament resumes work this Tuesday after the break for summer holidays. The MPs' return comes with a particularly full agenda, marked by several reforms under discussion and multiple pending dossiers.

Among the hot topics that will dominate parliamentary activity, housing stands out as one of the main political concerns, the State Budget that is on its way, and the Social Inclusion Benefit. These matters are expected to take center stage in the coming weeks of work.

The Court of Auditors also emerges as one of the relevant topics for the return, signaling the attention this oversight body will have on the Executive's actions. The auditing of public accounts will be a point to follow during this legislative phase.

By the end of the year, a constitutional revision is also planned, as previously announced. This constitutional reform joins the set of matters that will keep MPs busy in the coming months, in a period that promises to be particularly intense in legislative terms and political debate.

Why this matters

Readers are directly affected because decisions made during this parliamentary session will influence public housing policies, the 2025 State Budget and potential constitutional changes. The article is of particular interest to those following governance and the government's legislative priorities for the coming months.
