Chega admits it may support PS housing proposals and challenges socialists to approve its own

The Chega party has expressed willingness to support a PS proposal to exempt the sale of houses up to 300,000 euros from capital gains tax, provided that housing relief measures are included in the upcoming State Budget. Party leader André Ventura argued that for any support regarding rent burdens or mortgage costs to be effective, it must be legally codified within the national budget process rather than through separate legislative discussions.

Why it matters

While this signals potential political alignment on housing relief, no measures have been finalized; if implemented in the State Budget, they could eventually lead to tax relief for home sales or increased deductions for renters and mortgage holders.
