Chega confirms Ventura's presence at meeting with Montenegro on Thursday

The Chega party confirmed that its leader, André Ventura, will attend a meeting with Prime Minister Luís Montenegro on Thursday, 5 November, to discuss the housing crisis. The party stated it is open to finding solutions, while the Prime Minister announced he will also meet with the PS party, rejecting claims that the government has been silent on the issue.

Why it matters

While this meeting does not immediately change housing laws or regulations, it represents the start of formal government-opposition talks on the housing crisis that could lead to future policy changes for tenants and homeowners.
