Manifesto calls for not changing the subject and returning to discuss the lack of housing
A manifesto signed by nearly 50 personalities, including Eduardo Ferro Rodrigues and José Pacheco Pereira, urges a return to the housing debate in Portugal. They argue that focusing on police responses diverts attention from the government's responsibility regarding housing issues. The manifesto highlights that many people work daily but cannot afford homes. It emphasizes the need for political accountability from Prime Minister Luís Montenegro and the Minister of Internal Administration, rather than blaming police actions. The signatories express concern that discussions are shifting away from housing to public order, criticizing the government's approach to protests instead of addressing the housing crisis.
