Briefings
Portuguese political parties PSD and Chega reached a temporary agreement on the Urban Rent Law during the general vote, but the final outcome remains uncertain due to the absence of a majority in the Parliament. Chega leader André Ventura admitted the party would vote against the law if the government does not correct fiscal proposals, while PSD leader Gonçalo Lage acknowledged the agreement is not yet concrete and faces risks of failure at the final vote. The government's initial plan includes a 50% increase in tax deductions for housing rents and a review of the Municipal Property Tax (IMI), which could jeopardize the 2027 budget surplus.
