Carneiro asks that the rent law stays on the shelf

The PS leader criticized the government's slow response to the cost of living and housing crisis in Portugal. José Luís Carneiro emphasized the need for the government to explain its delays and proposed measures to address these issues while ensuring public finance sustainability. He called for the withdrawal of a new rental law that could lead to evictions, highlighting the housing difficulties faced by many, including young people and families. Carneiro also rejected past PS governments' responsibility for housing issues, pointing to the need for regulation to combat real estate speculation and advocating for a new legal framework to expedite housing licensing processes.
