Housing: Livre and BE ask Seguro to veto the revision of the rental law if it is approved without significant changes

The Livre and Bloco de Esquerda parties urged President António José Seguro to veto the government's proposed revision of the urban rental law if it passes without significant changes. They expressed their concerns after meeting with representatives from the Casa para Viver platform. Isabel Mendes Lopes from Livre emphasized the need for substantial amendments during parliamentary discussions, warning that the current proposal would harm tenants and benefit large landlords. Fabian Figueiredo from BE praised the President's willingness to engage with social movements but called for a clear commitment to veto any unfavorable changes to the rental law. Both parties advocate for a more inclusive dialogue on housing issues.
