The prime minister made a “flagrant retreat” on the government’s housing program, SDP President Luis Montenegro said this Sunday, accusing António Costa of “confusion”. The leader of the Social Democrats also said that there are political conditions for the minister of the sector, Marina Gonçalves, to carry out her duties and bring the “More Housing” program to a successful conclusion. These positions were broadcast in Paris as part of PSD’s “Sentir Portugal” initiative, dedicated this month to Portuguese communities.
This Saturday in the Dominican Republic at the conclusion of the Ibero-American Summit, Costa, in a joint press conference with the head of state, said that the government will consider all contributions to the public discussion of the measures “More Housing Program”, including the program of the President of the Republic, allowing the removal or addition of such issues like a forced rental measure, criticized by Marcelo Rebelo de Souza.
“The prime minister is distracted, confused, moving back and forth. The Minister of Housing has been strongly defending forced tenancy for weeks now. And I ask: how is the Minister of Housing now?” asked Montenegro.
Regarding the minister’s possible resignation, the PSD leader conveyed the decision to the prime minister, but added that Marina Gonçalves “does not have the political conditions to implement the plan she presented to the country.”
