The absolute majority of the PS rejected more than 90% of the proposed budget amendments tabled by the opposition, being the only party to vote against about a hundred of them, earning the favorable vote of the rest.
At the end of a four-day voting marathon, in the Budget and Finance Committee (COF), of the State Budget for 2023 (OE2023), the opposition leaves the specialty with few victories, having heard the word more than 90% of the time rejected.
The absolute majority of the PS isolated about a hundred of these cases, which contradicted the unanimity in the vote in favor of PSD, Chega, IL, BE, PCP and the sole deputies of PAN and Livre.
The largest opposition party, the PSD, had the ‘lion’s share’ of proposals that failed under these conditions: almost half.
For its part, the former partner of the PCP device was the second party with the most proposals rejected only because of the vote against the PS, with more than two dozen.
PAN follows on the ‘podium’, with almost two dozen, soon followed by BE, with almost ten, and Livre with only three.
Chega, for which no proposal was approved, also fell outside this ‘ranking’ because other parties always followed the PS by voting against or abstaining.
IL, in this budget the party that submitted the fewest amendments, had also not ‘failed’ any proposal with this criterion.
The OE2023 was approved this Friday in the last global vote where the PS voted in favour, the PAN and Livre abstained and the other parties voted against.
PAN and Livre were the two sides that managed to pass the largest number of specialty amendment proposals, some following amendments to the original proposal, with sole deputy Inês Sousa Real seeing around 10% of her proposals become viable, while some deputy Rui Tavares won the favorable vote of the PS by about 20%.
In this ‘scale’ it is necessary to add the approved PSD, IL, PCP and BE measures to about two dozen.
