BE advances with proposals to support housing and Social Security

Público30 August 2026 at 19:43

The Left Bloc is moving forward with new proposals to support housing and Social Security. The party intends to prevent Caixa Geral de Depósitos (CGD) from passing on European Central Bank (ECB) interest rate increases to housing credit. This measure aims to protect borrowers from increases in their home loan repayments. At the same time, the BE proposes deepening the so-called 'Mortágua tax' as a way to fund Social Security. The party thus continues to defend policies of intervention in the financial sector and strengthening the social protection system.
