Chega party legislative activities in the Azores
Overview
The Chega party in the Azores has been active in the Regional Legislative Assembly, proposing and questioning various social and administrative policies.
In September 2026, the Assembly unanimously approved the Independent Living Support Model (MAVI), a Chega-proposed initiative designed to increase autonomy for people with disabilities. The program involves establishing a support center, funded by the regional budget but managed by private or non-profit entities, to create personalized assistance plans. The Regional Secretary for Health and Social Security indicated that approximately 4,800 residents could benefit and committed 200,000 euros to a pilot project in the 2027 budget.
By October 2026, the Chega/Açores group shifted focus toward public administration and housing. The party requested data on remote work within regional services, calling for better monitoring of productivity and availability to address citizen complaints regarding delays. Additionally, they sought information on housing support for working families, specifically inquiring about programs for first-time homebuyers, incentives for controlled-cost construction, and the use of regional land for affordable housing.
