Housing? Montenegro met with PS and Arrives “to pick the point”

Jcotrim Figueiredo, commented on the political response to the housing crisis, namely the meetings between the government and the opposition parties – PS and Arriga – on the matter, which took place last week.

“ From the political authorities, no one was particularly well. Starting with the President of the Republic, who comes with a completely angelic attitude, wondering why the parties do not understand each other, do not sit at the table. Any of us could answer. They do not understand because there is no basis of de facto understanding”, he started by saying in his usual comment space in SIC News.

According to Cotrim, this was visible when the next day the PS left the meeting with the Government “saying that it wanted a new law”. “I wanted to start from scratch, as if I were ruling,” he described, adding: “And Aquist never knows what he wants, but he was still seeing more or less where the wind was blowing from, then see what the opinion would be.”.

“It was not a good time for the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister, first disappeared and then when he shows up, speaking at 8 p.m. on television, said very little and in a very sleepy way and did only that to prick point, to go talk to the opposition parties, because he really didn’t want to change much,” he continued.

For the MEP, criticism extends to the mayors who also intervened: “Some of them with little manners, others who have been hiding and when they speak it is very unconstructive for what would be the solution of the problem.”.

“ This in a context in which we are discussing the state budget, I do not know if people still remember. I know that it has been voted for some time without any history and that the specialty is also happening without surprise, except, as has already happened in the budgets of 2025 and 2026, if there are the famous negative coalitions in the horrific triad of the three p’s: tuition fees, tolls and pensions. Because they are the three things in which the Aquira and the PS have understood to increase public spending permanently.”.

It should be recalled that after the meetings, which took place last Thursday, the PS accused the Government of intransigence in housing, while the Aquida considered that the socialists were partly responsible for the current crisis. Along the same lines, the parliamentary leaders of AD fired that the PS demonstrated to be in “absolute denial of reality”.
