Briefings

The Portuguese party Livre plans to appeal to the parliamentary president to reject an urgent housing debate request, arguing the president's refusal violates the Regime's temporal interval rules. This decision was announced by Livre's spokesperson Jorge Pinto after the president of the Assembly of the Republic, José Pedro Aguiar-Branco, refused the request on October 8, 2026, citing the Regime's fixed interval limits. The Livre party considers the president's action ironic given the party's own commitment to open dialogue on housing, while the president maintains the refusal respects the Regime's statutory framework.
