Azores criticize the Republic's "irresponsibility" for the delay in agricultural support

jornalacores9.pt15 September 2026 at 14:16

The Government of the Azores criticized today the "irresponsibility" of the Republic for the delay in the transfer of agricultural support to the region. This situation forced the Azores to intervene with a great financial effort to ensure the POSEI program without pro-rata cuts.

The criticism was voiced during the plenary session of the Regional Assembly, held in Horta, on the island of Faial. The matter was raised by the Regional Secretary of Agriculture and Food, who pointed the finger at the Republic for the slowness in sending the funds.

The official recalled that the Azores' Budget had to be mobilized to fill this gap, highlighting the additional effort the region had to make to protect its farmers.

POSEI is a specific agricultural support program for Portugal's autonomous regions, and delays in the transfer of funds by the central government put at risk the timely payment of these supports to Azorean producers.

Why this matters

Azorean readers are directly affected because delayed agricultural support threatens local farmers' incomes. The Regional Government had to intervene with its own resources, which could pressure regional finances. This situation highlights tensions between regional autonomy and central power in managing European funds for agriculture.

The European decision, made on July 16, confirmed that the law was compatible with European law, but the Spanish court has now found grounds to refuse the application of the pardon in Puigdemon's specific case, thus maintaining the pending arrest warrant against the Catalan politician.
