What Seguro heard from housing specialists in Belém
The meeting focused on housing issues, with President António José Seguro asking 18 sector representatives for three priorities each. Key proposals included increasing construction, utilizing vacant properties, and simplifying administrative processes. Concerns about youth poverty and ongoing protests were acknowledged but not deeply discussed. Participants included real estate promoters, tenants' representatives, and local officials. Builders expressed willingness to invest but emphasized the need for legal stability and more land availability. Tenants proposed a new rental code and incentives to address vacant properties. The President noted he would present these ideas to political parties in upcoming discussions.
