“Considering the urgent need for the budget to come into effect, the Representative of the Republic closely followed the respective discussion in the plenary session of the Legislative Assembly, thereby fostering its swift promulgation,” reads the statement.
The 2025 Madeira Budget, totaling 2.533 billion euros, was approved on June 20 in a final global vote, with favorable votes from the majority coalition of PSD/CDS-PP, opposition from JPP and PS, and abstentions from Chega and IL.
The opposition submitted around 70 proposed amendments, of which seven were accepted (six from IL and one from Chega).
The proposal was guaranteed approval, as PSD and CDS-PP had formed a parliamentary incidence and governance agreement after the early regional elections on March 23, ensuring an absolute majority.
The Madeira parliament, with 47 seats in the house, consists of 23 deputies from PSD, 11 from JPP, eight from PS, three from Chega, one from CDS-PP, and one from IL.
