Carneiro challenges Montenegro to "let the rent law fall"

The Secretary-General of the PS, José Luís Carneiro, announced plans to address housing and cost of living issues in Parliament, urging the Prime Minister to withdraw the new rental law. He emphasized that the proposed law complicates housing access for young people and middle-class families while increasing eviction risks. Carneiro reiterated the need for a public guarantee to balance landlord and tenant interests. He also expressed willingness to discuss potential amendments to the 1974 law regulating the right to protest, following suggestions from the Attorney General. Recent protests for housing rights faced police intervention, prompting inquiries into the actions taken by law enforcement.
