Seguro and Montenegro had lunch before the Council of State, which has four absences

The Council of State meeting on social cohesion began with four absences after President António José Seguro lunched with Prime Minister Luís Montenegro. The absent members include former President António Ramalho Eanes and other key political figures. Prior to the meeting, the President appointed new State Councilors, including the President of the Constitutional Court and the Ombudsman. The meeting was moved to Monday due to the President's upcoming trip to Madrid for the Ibero-American Summit. Following recent police actions against housing rights protesters, the President emphasized the importance of dialogue and the right to protest, urging political parties to focus on concrete solutions for housing issues.
