PCP, Livre and PAN request hearing of the president of IHRU in Parliament. BE demands resignation

On October 23, PCP, Livre, and PAN requested a parliamentary hearing for the president of IHRU, Benjamim Pereira, due to his controversial remarks about societal sacrifices for housing. The parties criticized his insensitivity towards young people's struggles and called for accountability. The Left Bloc demanded Pereira's resignation, citing his incompetence in addressing housing issues. In contrast, Iniciativa Liberal acknowledged Pereira's unfortunate comments but did not call for his dismissal, emphasizing the need for systemic solutions rather than scapegoating individuals. Pereira later admitted his statements were poorly phrased and clarified he did not intend to downplay housing difficulties.
