Housing Minister admits openness to review rent law with the PS

The Minister of Housing expressed openness to revising rental laws with the PS party, while emphasizing the need for consensus among all parties. Recent protests in Lisbon and Porto against housing issues led to police interventions, with 55 arrests made. The Minister of Internal Administration warned against extremism during protests, asserting that illegal occupations would not be tolerated. The Livre party plans to challenge the Parliament's decision to reject an urgent debate on housing, criticizing the Iniciativa Liberal's recent call for discussions as insincere. The Minister reiterated the government's commitment to increasing public housing supply amid ongoing housing crises.
