Carneiro under pressure, between the street and the Government

The rising tensions in housing protests have led to increased participation from Socialist Party members, despite the leader José Luís Carneiro not directly encouraging it. Some deputies joined protests, including Eurico Brilhante Dias and former ministers, drawing criticism from the PSD party. While some socialists believe their presence could deter police action, others, like Francisco Assis, criticize this involvement as inappropriate. Carneiro has emphasized moderation and dialogue with the government regarding housing solutions, while internal party voices express concerns about the need for a more proactive stance. The situation reflects a divide within the party on how to address the protests and the government's policies.
