PR pressures government. "There are at least 200 thousand houses ready to enter the rental market"
The government claims there is little room for new housing measures in the 2027 budget, but the President disagrees, emphasizing the need for immediate action. António José Seguro highlighted that at least 200,000 homes could be made available for rent. He stressed the importance of affordable housing, especially for minimum wage earners, as the government plans to increase the minimum wage from 920 to 970 euros by 2027. This statement follows recent violent police actions against protests in Lisbon.
