Lisbon and Porto protesters stay despite tents
Hundreds of protesters in Lisbon and Porto refused to dismantle the tents they set up to protest the rising housing costs, despite legal authorities' warnings about violating laws and potential risks of legal action. The protests, which began ten days ago, are ongoing and include plans to expand the demonstrations into Spain, focusing on ending the housing crisis that has worsened significantly, with housing prices increasing by 124% between 2015 and 2024. The crisis is particularly acute among young people and in the capital city. The demands include stopping expedited evictions and implementing more effective measures to address the high housing costs, amid Spanish efforts for further protests and a general strike.
