Briefings

Portuguese Socialist leader José Luís Carneiro criticized the new rent control law as a social tool, demanding the Prime Minister drop it before the end of the week. He defended a public guarantee for young people and middle-income families against rent hikes, arguing the current 2.300 euro income threshold ignores economic reality. Carneiro visited construction sites in Lagos, Portimão, and Lagoa to assess housing investments, noting a 50 million euro PRR-funded project, while warning that the executive worsened housing conditions.
