Chega only reveals voting intention after Budget discussion

Chega/Açores announced that its vote on the 2027 Regional Budget will be determined after discussions in the plenary session. The party emphasizes it will not accept cuts to essential areas for the Azorean population. They express concerns over significant budget reductions in housing, which they deem critical given the current housing crisis. Chega's leader, José Pacheco, criticized the regional government for drastic cuts, particularly in housing support. The proposed budget includes a total investment of 1.057 billion euros, with 650 million euros directly managed by the regional government. Discussions and voting on the budget are scheduled for this month in Horta.
