Albuquerque Challenges JPP's Excuses for Budget Discussion Delay

Miguel Albuquerque Questions JPP's Justification

Miguel Albuquerque, the President of the Regional Government, expressed confusion over the justification provided by the JPP parliamentary group for not accepting Jorge Carvalho's invitation to discuss the upcoming Regional Budget. He stated that the reasoning given by JPP is simply another excuse to avoid meetings, as negotiations typically involve both government members and parliamentary groups.

Openness to Negotiation

Despite the Regional Government's willingness to negotiate with the opposition to secure approval for the budget proposal, Élvio Sousa insists that any meetings must be led by Albuquerque and include the JPP Political Committee and the Parliamentary Group. Sousa made it clear that he will not accept any other arrangement.
