The Left Bloc has requested an urgent debate at the Lisbon City Council regarding a 25-point plan to mitigate the rising cost of living, energy, and fuel prices. Proposals include free school meals from preschool to secondary level by 2026/27, a 30% tax deduction on essential expenses, and a freeze on municipal housing rents until the end of the year. The party also suggests creating a Municipal Cost of Living Observatory and providing subsidies for thermal insulation and transport passes for the unemployed. The initiative follows similar national efforts led by party figures to address inflationary pressures.
