Portuguese President Call Housing Bill ‘Unfeasible” Indicates It is unlikely to go through

  • 27 March, 23

Speaking to Portuguese TV yesterday, President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa characterized the controversial More Housing bill – which, among other measures, seeks to end the country’s Golden Visa program – as “inoperable” and “‘Unfeasible” from beginning to end.

President de Sousa likened the bill – which he indicated was so large that getting a clear grasp its contents was difficult – to a melon: “People used to say that you only know if the melon is good after opening it”.

Porto-based lawyer – Ines Costa Moura, GM of IAS, said the impact of the President’s statement was “ a very significant one” because his “opinion is extremely important, and his positions on any matter are usually taken into account, even before the law is sent to him.
