Housing
President pressures government: 'There are at least 200,000 houses ready to enter the rental market'
President António José Seguro stated on Tuesday, 27 October, that there is an urgent need for the government and Parliament to act on housing, explicitly rejecting the government's stance that current measures are sufficient. He identified three priorities: stimulating the rental market using existing vacant stock (estimated at 200,000 homes), protecting vulnerable people from rising living costs, and creating a long-term strategy for building new housing.
Why it matters
While no new measures have been passed, the President is calling for urgent political action to address housing affordability and increase rental supply, which could lead to future changes in housing policy or rental market incentives.Diário de NotíciasRead original ↗
