How Parliament voted

The budget is not voted on as a whole. Parliament voted 1 times on individual appropriations and opposition alternatives, and the budget was adopted on the basis of those votes.

A passed act does not enter into force immediately: the President of the Republic confirms it, and it enters into force on the date set in the act.

Key points of the debate

The debate centred on the state of central government finances, borrowing, weakening tax revenues, and rising unemployment. The government parties highlighted the supplementary budget's investments in national defence, preparedness, and youth employment without significant new borrowing, whereas the opposition criticised spending cuts, tax policy, and inadequate measures to stimulate economic growth. The proposal was contentious and divided Parliament along government and opposition lines.

Are the Government's tax cuts eroding the state's revenue base too much?
Are the measures to improve employment and tackle youth unemployment sufficient?
Is funding for the wellbeing services counties and transport routes secured at the right level?

National Coalition PartyIn favour
The National Coalition Party considered that the supplementary budget moderately addresses security and security of supply needs while creating preconditions for economic growth without extensive additional debt.
