Chega and Government Find Common Ground on Immigration and Tax Reform, Ventura Reveals

André Ventura, leader of Chega, emerged from a meeting with the Prime Minister expressing cautious optimism. The discussions hinted at a potential agreement on immigration regulation and restrictions on nationality acquisition. Additionally, Ventura highlighted shared views on IRS (Income Tax) reforms, which could influence policies as early as January next year. This development opens the door for possible support from Chega for the upcoming State Budget, a prospect Ventura did not dismiss.

Key Discussions:

• Immigration Control: Proposals to tighten nationality acquisition processes.
• Tax Reforms: Potential adjustments to the IRS system to be implemented in the near future.
• Budget Support: Chega's openness to backing the State Budget, signaling a rare moment of political alignment.

While the final stance of Chega remains under wraps, pending overnight negotiations, the meeting marks a significant step towards cross-party cooperation on pressing national issues.
