“It is inoperable.” Marcelo criticizes government measures for housing in Portugal

Jacob ManningJacob Manning—March 21, 20230
FacebookTwitterPinterestLinkedInTumblrRedditVKWhatsAppEmail

The government’s “More Housing” package has been attacked by Portugal’s President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa as being “inoperable.” The government’s efforts to address the nation’s housing situation, which has been made worse by the COVID-19 pandemic, include the “More Housing” package.

The package includes actions like creating a government-funded program to assist renters who are having trouble paying their rent because of the pandemic, converting unoccupied properties into affordable housing, and providing tax incentives for landlords who offer long-term leases.

President Rebelo de Sousa, however, contended that the package will have little effect on the housing crisis since it did not address the underlying causes of the issue in a statement released on Friday. He argued that rather than giving tax breaks to landlords, the government should concentrate on expanding the housing supply.

Mixed responses have been given to President Rebelo de Sousa’s criticism of the “More Housing” package. Some have criticized him for failing to present a workable alternative, while some have applauded him for his courage to speak out against government policies that he deems to be counterproductive.

The government has supported the “More Housing” package in spite of the criticism, insisting that it is an essential step in resolving the housing problem. They have emphasized that the package contains a wide range of policies intended to help both tenants and landlords and that it is a component of a larger plan to enhance Portugal’s supply of affordable housing.

There has been a long-standing housing crisis in Portugal, where many people struggle to obtain inexpensive and suitable homes. Since job losses and economic instability have made it challenging for many people to pay their rent or mortgage, the COVID-19 pandemic has only made the issue worse.

Many people argue that more needs to be done to boost the supply of housing and make it more accessible for those who need it the most, and the government has come under fire for not doing enough to address the issue.

In response to these critiques, the government has introduced a number of programs, such as the “More Housing” package, to solve the housing situation. Although it is uncertain if these initiatives will be effective in addressing the problem’s core causes, they represent a positive beginning and show the government’s commitment to finding a solution.

Despite the “More Housing” package receiving criticism from President Rebelo de Sousa, it is obvious that more work needs to be done to address Portugal’s housing crisis. Particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, the government must continue to make efforts to expand the supply of affordable housing and assist people who are having trouble finding and paying for home.
