Carneiro criticizes the government's lack of responses to the cost of living and housing

José Luís Carneiro criticized the government's slow response to the cost of living and housing issues during a meeting in Coimbra. He called for explanations from the Prime Minister and other officials, emphasizing the need for effective measures to support families and businesses while ensuring public finance sustainability. Carneiro highlighted the urgency of addressing housing laws, particularly to prevent evictions that threaten young people and middle-class families. He pointed out the severe housing crisis, with thousands competing for limited homes, and rejected past PS governments' responsibility for current housing challenges. He advocated for regulatory measures to combat real estate speculation and proposed a new framework for municipalities to expedite housing licensing processes.
