Miguel Albuquerque, president of the Regional Government, directly challenged the municipal executive of Santa Cruz, led by JPP, to move from promises to the effective construction of housing. The challenge arose in response to announcements from the City Council about new housing investments in the municipality.
Albuquerque welcomed positively the municipality's intention to increase the housing supply, but did not spare criticism of the party that governs Santa Cruz. The president of the Regional Government accused JPP of systematically censuring the regional housing policy without presenting any work of its own in the municipality.
The challenge launched aims to pressure the municipal executive to fulfill the announcements made, transforming them into real housing for the citizens of Santa Cruz. The tension between the Regional Government and the Santa Cruz City Council highlights political divergences over housing management in the region.
