In his first Sevillian rally of this pre-campaign, the president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, promised that, if he wins, he will not only maintain but also "strengthen" his housing policy. Sánchez asks that decrees not be used to pit small property owners against tenants, but the very tone of the report sent by the Minister of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, to the Cortes is hostile towards the private activity of renting out houses. #Vivienda #Alquiler #Gobierno (translated)

Chicago Boy wrote that he dined the night before with a right-wing advisor to Lecornu, whom he described as profoundly disillusioned by the exercise of Macronist power. According to this interlocutor's assessment, the failure of Macronism was attributed to the political origins of its leaders, most of whom came from the left, particularly the Socialist Party, the Rocardian movement, or the CFDT, and were influenced by its values. Chicago Boy believed that this legacy led Macronist leaders to only half-heartedly pursue right-wing policies. He cited the replacement of the ISF with an IFI, which he deemed almost as counterproductive, the numerous exceptions to the pension reform that would have limited savings before it was suspended, as well as the promise to eliminate 100,000 public sector jobs, whereas their number had actually increased by 200,000. He concluded that one should never vote for the soft center. #Macronisme #PolitiqueFrançaise #GaucheDroite (translated)

The author noted that Pedro Passos Coelho would give an interview to Maria João Avillez on SIC Notícias, between 9 PM and 10 PM, and argued that his governance should be reassessed in light of the financial conditions he encountered. According to the author, Portugal had already requested external assistance when Passos Coelho arrived at the Government in 2011, and the adjustment program of 78 billion euros had been negotiated before he took office. He maintained that during the legislature, exports rose from about one-third of GDP to nearly 40% in 2015, including tourism, and that the tourism sector gained strategic momentum. Regarding privatizations, he acknowledged that some operations were questionable and warranted scrutiny but argued that they allowed the collection of billions of euros, the amortization of public debt, and reduce financing needs and interest burdens. He also considered that cuts in the public sector were painful but questioned what the alternatives would have been when the State could no longer finance itself normally. The author further highlighted that Portugal completed the financial assistance program in 2014 and returned to market financing without a precautionary program, recovering, in his view, decision-making leeway. He stated that Passos Coelho was the most relevant politician of the century in Portugal for having made unpopular decisions and contributed to an economic change whose effects surpassed his Government. #Portugal #Política #Economia (translated)
