The Vice-President of the National Association of Municipalities (ANMP), Flávio Massano, emphasized that the current budget must reflect these expanded responsibilities. The Association notes that while the new Local Finance Law is pending, the current fiscal framework must ensure stability and predictability for local authorities.
