PS accuses Government of "conflict" instead of dialoguing

The PS criticized the government for its confrontational strategy instead of engaging in dialogue regarding housing proposals. Eurico Brilhante Dias expressed surprise at Finance Minister Joaquim Miranda Sarmento's claim that a public guarantee for landlords would be financially irresponsible. He emphasized that the PS's proposal is balanced and respects the budget. Dias accused the government of lacking a housing policy and failing to address the rising cost of living. He vowed that the PS would continue to hold the government accountable in 2027, particularly regarding commitments made to the central region affected by storms. Sarmento defended the government's stance, labeling the proposed guarantee as fiscally reckless.
