Sarmento insists that the Government has done "much more" for housing than previous administrations

Finance Minister Joaquim Miranda Sarmento stated in parliament that the current government has taken significant measures to address the housing crisis, claiming it has done "much more" than previous administrations. He highlighted actions in public housing, moderate price construction, and rental markets, particularly referencing the PS governments led by António Costa. Sarmento responded to questions from the Livre party, which is discussing proposals for housing solutions. He criticized some suggestions made by Livre's deputy, emphasizing that the government's efforts, including VAT reductions and moderate rents, are already substantial, although results may take time due to structural issues from the past decade.
