Around 200 people gather in Coimbra to protest against the housing crisis

About 200 demonstrators gathered in Coimbra's Praça 8 de Maio on Saturday, 24 October, to protest against the housing crisis. Participants demanded an end to evictions, the implementation of rent caps, and restrictions on property purchases by investment funds.

Why it matters

This protest reflects growing public and political pressure for policy changes on rents and evictions, though it does not signal a change in law today.
