Congress overturns veto on zero eviction

After several months of struggle, groups responsible for the Zero Eviction Campaign managed to have the veto 42/2021 ruled in the National Congress.

In the veto session held on Monday (27/09/2021), deputies and senators overturned the veto to PL 827/2021 and, now, the country has a national law that prevents evictions during the remainder of 2021. The overthrow of the veto was the result of actions by social movements and civil society, together with allies within the Legislative Power.
