Letter delivered by the protesters from the Porto camp to the Minister of Housing is under review, reveals the Secretary of State

The letter from Porto protesters to the Housing Minister is under review, with some demands already being addressed. The Secretary of State for Housing acknowledges public frustration but insists the government is taking action. She emphasizes the need for consensus in negotiations with opposition parties, rejecting past ineffective practices. The Secretary also clarifies that changes to rental guarantees aim to foster contractual freedom and denies any conflict between tenants and landlords. She deems a proposed rent moratorium unfeasible, advocating for structural measures instead. Additionally, she notes that previous contracts may qualify for new benefits if they meet program requirements, with 1,000 applications submitted so far.
