Briefings

PSD vice-presidente Alexandre Poço accused the PS of being responsible for the housing crisis but stated openness to complementary proposals. He criticized the eight-year PS government for doubling housing prices and called the current rental law unfair compared to the previous administration's policies. Poço defended the current government's measures, noting they may not yet be effective, and promised parliamentary discussions to explore additional solutions.

Key points

• PSD vice-president Alexandre Poço accused the PS of being responsible for the housing crisis, calling the current government's eight-year tenure 'extraordinary and revealing of lack of decorum' for doubling housing prices.
• Poço defended the current government's housing measures, stating the new rental law is unfair compared to the previous administration's policies and that the current government is making significant efforts.

Context

The PSD accused the PS of being responsible for the housing crisis, calling the current government's eight-year tenure 'extraordinary and revealing of lack of decorum' for doubling housing prices. The PSD defended the current government's housing measures, stating the new rental law is unfair compared to the previous administration's policies and that the current government is making significant efforts.

Limitations

Poço did not directly correlate the specific Lisbon and Porto demonstrations to the housing crisis, though he implied price doubling occurred between 2015 and 2023. The evidence does not specify the exact date the new urban rental regime was approved, only that it was agreed upon with the PS after the Chega coalition. Some claims about the effectiveness of current measures remain unverified as the evidence notes they may not yet be effective in the market.
