Housing
Chronology: Housing protests reach one-month mark and force public debate on national crisis
The 'Acampadas pela Habitação' movement, which began on 10 October in Porto, marks one month of protests against the cost of living and housing crisis. The movement has expanded to Lisbon and other cities following confrontations with police, and has prompted government and political parties to discuss housing proposals and the legal limits on the duration of public demonstrations.
