Lawmakers voted 19 to 13 to endorse the budget revision.
The opposition criticized the revision and voted against it, saying the move was thumbed down by the Fiscal Council, an independent think tank specializing in macroeconomic policies, and the Government redistributed funds according to its own interests.
The Government on November 16 lowered the budgets of the ministries of Labor, Agriculture, Education, Environment and Finance and increased funding for the ministries of Health, Transport, Regional Development, Economy, Culture and the Ministry of Interior.
