PS tries to steal discontent from Chega, but with caution

Socialists advise José Luís Carneiro to balance opposition to the government while maintaining a moderate image amid housing protests. They recognize the need to address public discontent without radicalizing the party's stance. Carneiro acknowledges the protesters' concerns but emphasizes respect for democratic processes. The PS aims to reclaim voters who shifted to Chega, particularly by challenging André Ventura's positions on housing. Proposed government changes to rental laws are contentious, with the PS arguing they could harm tenants. Carneiro's moderate approach is seen as crucial, as he navigates the political landscape while presenting alternative housing solutions.
