The debate on the ‘State of the Nation’, the last political discussion with the participation of the Prime Minister, Luís Montenegro, before the parliamentary break for the summer holidays, has been scheduled for July 17 in a leaders’ conference.
According to the same calendar, the last plenary session is set for the 18th, typically focusing on voting on regulations, with committee work continuing until the 25th of that month.
These are the first parliamentary meetings of the PSD since the start of the XVII legislature and following the May 18 elections, which were won by the AD coalition.
The previous meetings, held jointly with the CDS-PP, took place between September 30 and October 1, focusing on the State Budget for 2025, and featured interventions from nearly all ministers of the XXIV Constitutional Government.
The Budget was eventually approved with the abstention of the PS, but the first government of Luís Montenegro fell on March 11, less than a year after taking office, following the rejection of a confidence motion he presented to parliament during a political crisis that arose because of a family business, Spinumviva, which has since been passed to his children.
In the early legislative elections of May 18, the AD coalition (PSD/CDS-PP) won again without an absolute majority, electing 91 deputies out of 230 (11 more than a year ago), of which 89 are from the PSD and two from the CDS-PP.
Chega became the second largest parliamentary force, with 60 deputies, followed by the PS with 58, IL with nine, Livre with six, PCP with three, and BE, PAN, and JPP with one each.
