BE speaks of "seismic change" in Government housing policy

José Manuel Pureza, the BE coordinator, highlighted a significant shift in the government's stance on the housing crisis, urging continued public pressure. He noted that recent protests have influenced government discourse, particularly from Minister Carlos Abreu Amorim. Pureza suggested that a public gesture from CGTP could strengthen the movement, advocating for a general strike or large-scale demonstration. Tiago Oliveira, CGTP's secretary-general, echoed concerns about rising living costs and mentioned the need for preparation for a general strike. Both leaders emphasized the importance of a strong social presence in Portugal, where rental prices have surged.
