Ventura: "But where is the prime minister?"

André Ventura, leader of Chega, criticized Prime Minister Luís Montenegro for his silence on the housing crisis and recent protests, suggesting it could escalate tensions. He emphasized the need for the government to address housing issues and proposed creating confidence in the market to encourage investment. Ventura dismissed the idea that golden visas contribute to housing problems and linked housing issues to immigration, arguing that the focus should be on increasing opportunities for the poor rather than blaming the wealthy. He called for a dynamic housing market that protects property rights and promotes affordable rents.
