Lisbon rental restrictions: negative sign for economy

The Mayor of Lisbon, Engineer Carlos Moedas has said that the "immediate suspension" of new registrations for local accommodation is "a very negative sign" for the local economy, tourism and above all, for thousands of families who see this as an obstacle to their income”.

According to multiple news reports, the former European Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation, indicated that the Leftist parties were following their own agenda and preferred “to pursue party politics instead of favouring balanced public policy, which favours the quality of life of Lisboners and allows for sustained and balanced economic development”, even more so in a phase of uncertainty due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Reiterating the idea that local accommodation should deserve “a more effective inspection”, Carlos Moedas spoke out “against radical proposals”, which divide the city and the people of Lisbon.
