News Review: Housing for Teachers, Vandalism Not Helping & Lithium Mining Relief

Several municipalities in the Alentejo, including Grândola and Santiago do Cacém, are offering free accommodation to attract essential workers like teachers due to rental shortages. Separately, new legislation allows the sale of inherited properties even if only one heir wishes to proceed, a move the government expects could bring over 3.8 million combined urban and rural properties onto the market. Additionally, the European Commission is reconsidering the strategic status of the Covas do Barroso lithium mining project due to ongoing environmental and community concerns.
