The ANAFe has called for Portuguese Parishes to close all their services on November 4, 2026, as a form of protest against the proposals presented in the State Budget.

The decision was made by the Board of Directors of ANAFe, meeting in Pombal on October 12, 2026. The statement calls for the defense of the Parishes, Local Power, and the populations, arguing that defending the Parishes means defending proximity and Local Power.
The initiative arises as a demonstration of disagreement with the financial proposals presented in the State Budget, which ANAFe considers insufficient for the functioning of local authorities.

"Defending the Parishes is defending the Populations, proximity, and Local Power."
