The Casa para Viver platform was adopted by the minister on Tuesday

The Casa para Viver platform will be handed to the housing minister on Tuesday, who will demand an “immediate suspension” of evictions and other measures to end the housing crisis.

The meeting, scheduled for 16:00 at the Ministry of Housing in Lisbon, will take place at the request of the platform, which organized the national demonstration that brought tens of thousands of people to the streets on September 30.

The platform demanded a meeting with Housing Minister Marina Gonçalves on Wednesday following the announcement of evictions in the Arroios parish in Lisbon.

The eviction of the family of three had been scheduled for the previous day, October 3, but did not happen “due to the mobilization of people on site,” according to housing rights groups.

According to a source at the Ministry of Housing, Marina Goncalves agreed to set up a meeting with the platform as a whole, and not just with one or another association.

According to information provided by the platform, the “immediate suspension” of evictions is not the only topic it intends to discuss with the minister, to whom she will also present proposals “so that the housing crisis can begin to be addressed.”

The manifesto underlying the Casa para Viver platform includes measures such as “effective market regulation” through rent reductions, automatic renewals of current leases and fixing the cost of loan payments for first homes. .

At the same time, the movement calls for an “immediate review of tourism speculation licenses” and a “real end” to golden visas, non-custodial residency status, incentives for digital nomads and tax breaks for luxury properties and companies and investment funds.

The platform, which before the demonstration on September 30 in 24 cities of the country had already held a similar protest on April 1, unites more than a hundred associations and groups.

When asked by Lusa, a source at the Ministry of Housing clarified that Tuesday’s meeting was not related to a series of industry meetings that Marina Gonçalves held on September 21 and 22 with the participation of two trade union centers and associations of tenants, owners and consumers to find out about the update of rents for 2024 year and rules for concluding contracts before 1990.

According to the same source, a second round of meetings will soon take place with the same eight interlocutors (with three HOAs and two HOAs).
