CDU: Pedro Duarte's executive and PS "wake up late"

The CDU criticized the Porto City Council and the PS for their late response to inclusive zoning issues after a decision allowed financial compensation instead of affordable housing in seven projects. This decision, made by the executive led by Pedro Duarte, faced opposition from PS and Chega. The CDU emphasized the need for stronger municipal housing policies and highlighted previous discussions on housing issues. The PS plans to discuss inclusive zoning in an upcoming municipal assembly. The ruling majority expressed willingness to meet with opposition to reconsider the decision, while also announcing a review of the zoning regulations to include contributions from hotels and local accommodations for affordable housing. The financial compensation from three companies significantly undercuts market rates for affordable housing.
