PS demands funds for IC31 in OE2027

The PS parliamentary group demands the government to proceed with the construction of IC31, a planned investment for the cross-border connection with Spain. A proposal to amend the 2027 State Budget was presented, emphasizing the importance of this infrastructure for economic development and territorial equity. Nuno Fazenda, a PS deputy, highlighted that the IC31 is a priority and that previous studies and financial frameworks were established for its realization. The proposal aims to ensure that the commitments made by the government regarding transport infrastructure are translated into concrete projects. Recently, the mayor of Castelo Branco expressed surprise at the lack of funding for IC31 in the 2027 budget, which contradicts previous commitments from the Minister of Infrastructure and the Prime Minister. The IC31 remains on the national investment list with a total value of 45 million euros, but no significant funding is allocated for 2027.
