The PS will vote against the proposal for legislative authorisation by the Government to review the urban lease regime on Wednesday, in disagreement with its content and with the option of legislating in the margins of Parliament.

ANDthis decision was announced by the parliamentary leader of the PS, Eurico Brilhante Dias, at a press conference where he presented a bill of his party to create a public guarantee mechanism for housing security.
The parliamentary leader of the PS considered that the PSD/CDS-PP executive, with its proposal for legislative authorization, intends to obtain from the Assembly of the Republic “a blank cheque” in order to introduce measures that will “create increasing insecurity in tenants”.
Eurico Brilhante Dias did not exclude, however, that the government's proposal would fall to the specialty without a vote on Wednesday and, in response to the journalists, indicated that the PS will vote in favour of a request to that effect.
In the bill presented today, the PS proposes the creation of a public guarantee, defined as a “public mechanism to mitigate the risks associated with housing lease, aimed at strengthening trust in the housing market, the safety of the parties and facilitating access to housing”.
