Housing costs continue a steep upward trajectory, as new data shows median sale prices rose in more than 90% of municipalities. Nearly half the country recorded price hikes of over 20%, highlighting the growing affordability crisis.
The human cost of the shortage remains a matter of dispute. In Lisbon, a widow says she was evicted from her home with her minor children after her partner died; the municipal housing company, Gebalis, says she was never a resident.
In parliament, the Chega party has demanded to question 50 different witnesses for an inquiry into Luís Neves. Meanwhile, Socialist leader José Luís Carneiro is busy defending his support for the budget, describing it as a necessity during a period of crisis.
