PS Secretary-General José Luís Carneiro accused the PSD/CDS-PP Government of failing to execute 60 million euros per week in national and European funds under the Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP). Carneiro warned that the country risks losing these funds if the Government does not accelerate investment, particularly in housing and healthcare, and criticized the diversion of resources to the Development Bank to avoid parliamentary scrutiny.

Municipalities in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area (AML) had delivered approximately 8,500 housing units by the beginning of this month, mostly rehabilitated, representing one-third of the target set in the Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP), which is being implemented until the end of August. In a statement, the AML notes that of the approximately 24,300 units submitted for the European funding plan, 8,500 were delivered by early March, 76% of which resulted from rehabilitation processes. Newly constructed housing accounts for less than one-fifth of the units delivered (18%), with even smaller shares resulting from acquisition (2%) and acquisition with rehabilitation (4%), according to the report presented at the Metropolitan Housing Working Group meeting held last Thursday. The housing submitted to the RRP by the 18 AML municipalities represents an investment of approximately 1.5 billion euros, which is also funded by the 1st Right programme. In addition to the municipal councils, other public entities in the AML territory have submitted 'a further 1,500 housing units to address the housing shortages identified in the region'. Initially, Portugal had until June to deliver the 26,000 homes planned under the RRP, but the figure was revised to 27,500 and the final deadline extended to 31 August. The Lisbon Metropolitan Area consists of 18 municipalities on the north and south banks of the Tagus River, namely Alcochete, Almada, Amadora, Barreiro, Cascais, Lisbon, Loures, Mafra, Moita, Montijo, Odivelas, Oeiras, Palmela, Seixal, Sesimbra, Setúbal, Sintra, and Vila Franca de Xira. The government is amending the 1st Right programme to ensure the execution of the RRP in housing support.
