PCP wants to repeal 'Cristas Law' but priority is to stop the new rental law

The PCP party announced it will resubmit proposals to repeal the 2012 'Cristas Law' (NRAU) while designating the government's currently proposed revision of the rental law as the primary target to defeat. The PCP argues the government's proposal, already approved in general terms with support from PSD and Chega, exacerbates existing rental instability and housing speculation.

Why it matters

The proposed rental law revision is under parliamentary discussion; if approved, it could fundamentally change rental rules and protections for tenants, though no new law has been enacted yet.
