Marcelo says the decision on more housing will be made public on Monday

The president of the republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, said on Friday that the decision on a series of diplomas he has in his possession to analyze, including the Mais Habitação program, will be made public on Monday.

“I’m leaving on the 20th [domingo] and therefore, immediately before departure, I will decide on this package of five or six diplomas, the most discussed of which are those for civil servants and those for housing “revealed the head of state in conversation with TVI from the beach of Monte Gordo, in the Algarve.

Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa also said that this afternoon he would still “receive news” of other diplomas pending to find out if it would still be possible to include them in this package, that is to say “determining whether to veto pronounce, as the case may be.” be” between Saturday and Sunday.

“And then, since it’s Saturday and Sunday, it’s clear that whatever the decision is, it won’t be announced until the 21st, which is Monday”he added.

The Mais Habitação program was approved in parliament on July 19 in a final general vote, with the PS bank voting only in favor of the legislative package moving forward with changes in leasing, licensing or local accommodation.

PSD, Chega, Iniciativa Liberal, PCP and BE voted against, while Livre and PAN chose to abstain, on a final voting day in which the opposition parties still called for proposals to change this package, but ultimately failed again as it had happened in the specialty.

After the diploma has gone to the Belém Palace, there has been a lot of anticipation about what Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa will do regarding this proposal, with the President of the Republic answering questions from journalists in recent days, from the beach where you are on holiday in the Algarve and always keep your decision open.

The only doubt that Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa dispelled was the possibility of sending the diploma to the Constitutional Courtafter arguing that he would not, but left the veto on the table, on the day the deadline to appeal to the judges at Ratton Palace expired.
