Images of the housing and cost-of-living protests in Porto and Lisbon
Thousands participated in demonstrations organized by the CGTP trade union in Porto and Lisbon on 17 October to protest housing and cost-of-living issues. The 'Acampada' movement also held housing-focused protests, with further events scheduled for today, 17 October, in Porto, including a community meal at 13:30 and an assembly at 19:00.
Why it matters
While these protests do not directly change housing or tax law, they signal ongoing public and union pressure regarding the cost of living and housing crisis, which may influence future government policy or legislative debates.ObservadorRead original ↗
