LISBON (Reuters) -Portugal’s parliament on Thursday gave final approval to the centre-right minority government’s 2026 budget, projecting slightly faster growth and a fourth consecutive surplus despite new tax cuts for companies and low-income earners.
The 230-seat house approved the bill with only 91 votes in favour from the alliance that supports the government because the Socialist Party’s 58 lawmakers abstained.
The remaining 81 lawmakers, including all 60 from the far-right Chega party, voted against.
