The Chega party announced an emergency legislative package for housing, proposing increased tax deductions and a 50% increase in rental income deductions to finance the plan. During a press conference in Lisbon, André Ventura admitted the party faces a budget deficit, stating it is worth the risk to improve housing conditions. The proposal includes a review of the Municipal Property Tax (IMI) and the current tax system for housing. The government's existing agreement with the PSD on rental laws remains unimplemented, and protests could escalate if no changes occur.
