In the Program of the XXIV Constitutional Government, presented today in the Assembly of the Republic, what was promised by the Democratic Alliance (PSD/CDS-PP/PPM) when it ran for the most recent legislative elections, in March, is fulfilled and the «determination » to revoke some decisions of the previous socialist executive, translated into Law no. 56/2023, approved on October 6th of last year.
With regard to local accommodation, the Government Program indicates that the extraordinary contribution on this activity and the expiration of licenses prior to the Mais Habitação program will be revoked “immediately”.
The executive also adds that it will review «other legal limitations» on local accommodation «considered disproportionate».
