Parliament debates today the end of tolls on former SCUTs. Outcome is unknown
The Assembly of the Republic is debating today, on the initiative of the PS, the end of tolls on former SCUT motorways, proposals with an uncertain outcome since the parties have not "opened the game" in relation to the voting intentions.

Política Assembleia da República
The PS bill - which had been announced by the leader, Pedro Nuno Santos, during the debate on Luís Montenegro's Government Program in early April - was joined by BE and PCP and also the draft resolutions (without the force of law) of IL, PSD/CDS-PP, PAN and Chega.
With the current geometry of the Assembly of the Republic and with the parties not telling Lusa what the direction of the vote will be in the different initiatives, the outcome of these votes is still unknown.
For the PS proposal to be approved, Chega must abstain or vote in favor, but the party led by André Ventura did not want to indicate its direction of vote.
Chega presented a draft resolution that provides for a gradual plan to exempt the payment of tolls, to be implemented within six years. This proposal differs from the PS bill, which aims to eliminate tolls on the former SCUTs as of January next year.
Chega also recommends "a 15% reduction in toll rates" this year and 25% "on the roads in the inland area and the Algarve".
The PS proposal aims to end tolls on the A4 - Transmontana and Marão Tunnel, A13 and A13-1 - Pinhal Interior, A22 - Algarve, A23 - Beira Interior, A24 - Interior Norte, A25 - Beiras Litoral e Alta and A28 - Minho on the sections between Esposende and Antas and between Neiva and Darque.
Along the same lines and with only a few differences in the roads covered are the BE and PCP bills.
The Bloquistas intend to eliminate tolls for motorways accessing the inland regions (A22, A23, A24, A25, A28, A29, A41, A42) and the communists want to abolish this payment on the A4, A13, A22, A23, A24, A25, A28, A29, A41 and A42.
The government parties, PSD and CDS-PP, have joined forces in a draft resolution that recommends the gradual and financially responsible reduction of tolls in the interior and in the large metropolitan areas, intending that the executive present to parliament the costs involved in adopting this measure and a study that establishes the base values that safeguard the maintenance costs of the roads.
Also without the force of law, IL recommends that the Government assess the cost-benefit of exempting tolls on the former SCUTs and PAN suggests renegotiating the public-private partnership contracts in the road sector.
