IL accuses Government of populism with pensions and will propose changes in Social Security for young people

Sábado9 September 2026 at 17:27

The party Iniciativa Liberal (IL) accused the Government of practicing populism with regard to pensions. This accusation comes in the context of Social Security policies that the party considers inadequate.

Jorge Miguel Teixeira, a figure from IL, announced that the party will present a reform proposal for the Social Security system aimed specifically at young people. The objective of this reform is to give young people more autonomy regarding their financial future.

According to IL's proposal, the reform will allow young people to choose, save, and be in charge of their own future. This initiative emerges as an alternative to the current policies of the executive.

IL's position is part of the broader debate about the sustainability of the pension system in Portugal and concerns about younger generations.

Committee of the Regions welcomes EU law to curb short-term rentals and real estate business

The Committee of the Regions welcomed the new EU Affordable Housing Law, considering it an important first step to control short-term rentals and second homes in cities under housing pressure. The entity, which brings together European cities and regions in Brussels, highlighted the leadership role of cities in developing this legislation and the recognition that the proliferation of Airbnb and similar platforms exacerbates the lack of affordable housing. However, the Committee pointed out contradictions with the 2028-2034 multiannual financial package, arguing that the Commission weakens the role of local authorities in housing investments. The mayor of Barcelona, Jaume Collboni, considered the law welcome for recognizing housing as a place to live before generating profits.
