“The budget that was presented by the regional Government is clearly a budget that does not serve the interests of the Region and the population”, guarantees Jacinto Serrão, in an intervention in the period before the agenda.
A budget that, says the socialist deputy, increases asymmetries. In 2025, Madeira will have an “even higher” GDP, but we have the lowest purchasing power.
Jacinto Serrão considers that budgetary options continue “in function of vested interests”.
A budget that “does not respond to the risks of poverty”, does not present solutions to the housing or health problems.
A budget that, according to Jacinto Serrão, does not solve the problems of education and professional training and forces Madeirans to emigrate.
For the PT member, this is a budget that maintains a high tax burden. Socialists continue to defend a 30% reduction in all levels of IRS and VAT.
Jacinto Serrão challenges the “deputies of the majority and parties that made the Government viable” to show that “this budget is good”.
