Briefings

Portuguese Prime Minister António Leitão Amaro responded to a PS secretary's request to withdraw the housing law, stating the government must revert to the legislation that caused the current housing crisis. The executive argued the law is a 'castradora' measure that penalizes renting and forces landlords to sell, blaming the current administration for the situation. The Prime Minister acknowledged the law could be improved but insisted it must not be changed, while noting the government's actions are coordinated by the Prime Minister, who is reportedly in the North. The article also mentions a proposed law allowing heirs to sell inherited homes after two years, which the Prime Minister criticized as a 'law of the geringonça'.
