Next European Parliament session hosts Luís Montenegro and debates EU budget
Prime Minister Luís Montenegro will address the European Parliament in Strasbourg this Tuesday (2026-10-06) at 09:30 Lisbon time as part of the "This is Europe" debate series. The plenary session also includes specific debates on the 2028-2034 EU budget, the cost of living crisis, and a discussion with the European Commissioner for Housing regarding the new EU framework for identifying areas under housing pressure.
Why it mattersWhile this involves high-level policy debates rather than an immediate change, the session includes a direct debate on EU-wide housing legislation and cost-of-living measures that may eventually influence national policy and housing regulations in Portugal.
