Carneiro pressures Montenegro to back down on rents

José Luís Carneiro, leader of the Socialist Party, has shifted strategy by publicly addressing Prime Minister Montenegro regarding housing issues. In recent articles, he criticizes the government's handling of rental law changes and proposes a public guarantee mechanism to ensure landlords receive overdue rents. While both PS and PSD agree on the housing shortage, they differ in their approaches; PSD favors incentives for landlords, whereas PS advocates for state intervention. Carneiro emphasizes that his proposal is financially responsible and invites PSD to collaborate on improving the legislation during parliamentary discussions.
