Pinto Luz: "They didn't let me speak. I tried"

During a visit to Porto, Minister Miguel Pinto Luz faced protests regarding housing issues. Despite attempts to engage with demonstrators, he struggled to be heard over their chants. He emphasized the government's ongoing dialogue with housing organizations and expressed willingness to listen. However, protesters criticized his approach, claiming he did not make an effort to communicate directly with them. They highlighted their demands for affordable housing solutions and criticized the government's response to the housing crisis. After the event, Pinto Luz received a letter from protesters outlining their demands, but no concrete meeting was arranged. He reiterated the government's commitment to dialogue with political parties on housing solutions.
