Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa said that he considers both positions to be good. “One still wants to introduce changes and the other wants to keep it as it is.

The head of state stressed that “the housing diploma needs regulation and will come into my hands”. “What seems like a closed case is not a closed case,” he said.
