Catarina Martins asks for EU support for student republics in Coimbra
Member of the European Parliament Catarina Martins is advocating for European Union financial support to renovate student housing known as 'republics' in Coimbra, specifically to prevent the eviction of two properties by the University of Coimbra. The university claims the buildings pose structural safety risks and lack a clear renovation schedule, while the residents accuse the institution of failing to maintain the properties and failing to provide alternative housing solutions.
