Antonio Costa's legacy in housing

Antonio Costa's legacy in housing

the biggest failure of Costismo. In housing we find the legacy of Pedro Passos Coelho's neoliberal rule, with which Costa coexisted: an ever smaller public sector increasingly compensated by temporary transfers, a politics of harmonization that gave advantages to the dominant class, a perpetual promise of liberation from liberalism but which always remained unfulfilled, and connecting all these dots is a development policy aimed at the endless expansion of tourism. Housing thus offers an anatomy of the former prime minister's entire form of government.

We depend on our readers.

The wide range of policies of Cristas Costa always ruled on a balance in which two aspects were implicit. First,''disagreement with the policies implemented during the troika period; secondly, to make any attempt to repeal these policies impossible, as if it were a mysterious rule impossible for the European Union to repeal.

Passos Coelho was a proud student of Europe, and Costa was so covertly, using this duality to disguise himself as a good negotiator. But both chose the path of submission.

During his rule, especially in recent years, Costa's policies look like a continuation of those of his right-wing predecessor.

This is why the Cristas Law is the starting point for understanding Costa's housing policies. The law was so named after the CDS-PP minister introduced an extensive package of rental market legislation in 2012, at the height of the period''troika.

Even though the leader of the Left resigned on an unexpected pretext, Costa's last act reflected the essence of his rule in many ways, and in the field of housing we see that it can be considered the greatest failure of Costismo. In the field of housing we find the spasmodic trace of the neoliberal rule practiced by Pedro Passos Coelho, with which Costa coexisted: an increasingly inefficient public sector increasingly compensated by temporary transfers, a policy of harmonization that gave advantages to the dominant class, an abstract promise to unleash a liberalism that was never restrained, and, combining all these aspects, a development policy aimed at the endless expansion of tourism. Thus,''The housing situation shows the anatomy of Costa's politics.
