The Supplementary Budget was approved on friday only with the favorable vote of the PS and with the abstention of the PSD, Bloco de Esquerda and PAN, which led Prime Minister António Costa to warn that he is not available to govern in Central Block, but the greater harmony between parties during the phase of specialty was found between the Left Block and the PCP, which approved all the proposed amendments submitted by each other.

The harmony between the two former “contraption” partners has also extended to the ENP proposals - which were unable to vote on them, as their deputies José Luís Ferreira and Mariana Silva do not have a seat on the Budget and Finance Committee - even though blockers have approved 22 proposals from the "Greens", while the communists abstained from one of the traditional coalition partner in the CDU.

* PAN and Chega were not present at the vote on one of their proposals.

NOTE: The ENP and the non-registered deputy Joacine Katar Moreira also presented proposals for changes, but were unable to vote, as they are not in the Budget and Finance Committee.

Out of these accounts, and committed to the Supplementary Budget delivered by Mário Centeno and defended in the Assembly of the Republic by his successor in the Finance portfolio, João Leão, the PS almost always opted for the vote against, abstained only twice (making proposals feasible) PSD, including the compromise solution found to support managing partners affected by the Covid-19 pandemic) and approved very little: no proposal from the CDS, Liberal and Chega Initiative, two from the PSD, four from the Left Block, five from the PCP (in a total of 70 votes, as some of the proposals were divided into more than one point), three from the PAN and the ENP and one from the non-registered deputy Joacine Katar Moreira.

On the far right side of the opposition, the PSD also opted for parsimony in voting on the specialty of the Supplementary Budget. Although the CDS-PP approved all the social-democratic proposals, it returned with a favorable vote in only 40% of the centrist proposals, which prevented several “negative coalitions” possible thanks to the consensus among the rest of the opposition represented in the Budget Committee and Finance. But even so, it was the CDS-PP that counted more often on the PSD, followed by the PS (in percentage, with a favorable vote among the only three proposals presented by the socialists), the Liberal Initiative and the PCP.

Among the blockers, there was also, in addition to the vote in favor of two of the three amendments advanced by the PS, great convergence with the proposals of Joacine Katar Moreira (75% approval rate), PAN (72,7%) and even PSD (53,3, 62,5%), while the communists approved 50% of the non-registered deputy's proposals and XNUMX% of those put forward by the PAN.

Further to the right, the CDS-PP approved 57,1% of the proposals of the Liberal Initiative (higher percentage excluding liberal deputy João Cotrim Figueiredo), 52,6% of Chega and 35,7% of PCP. For its part, the Liberal Initiative was with the PSD in 93,3% of the proposals, in 90% with the CDS-PP and in 68,4% with Chega, while André Ventura approved 80% of the PSD proposals, 75% of the CDS-PP proposals, 60% of the Left Block proposals and only 38,1% of the Liberal Initiative proposals.

As for the PAN - People, Animals, Nature, in addition to sharing with Chega the peculiarity of not having approved all their own initiatives to change the Supplementary Budget - due to the absence of the room at the time when one of the votes took place -, it was the party more “in solidarity” with the changes required by other political forces: he gave a favorable vote to 92% of those in the Bloco de Esquerda, 87,5% of Joacine Katar Moreira, 86,7% of those of PSD, 86,4% of the PEV, 75% of the CDS-PP and 74,3% of the PCP, falling below 50% only in the cases of Chega (47,4%) and Liberal Initiative (23,8%).
