The Portuguese Communist Party has accused Lisbon Mayor Cristina Moedas of failing to address the city's housing crisis. The party also claims she is backing the interests of the property sector. PCP deputy Sofia Lisboa said the situation is extremely serious and that Lisbon is driving away its own population. Her criticism portrays housing policy as a conflict between property interests and residents who want to remain in the city. The statement did not provide housing figures or examples of residents being forced from the city. It also did not include a response from Moedas or the mayor's office.
