Porto encampment asks the President of the Republic to intervene in rental law and demands resignation of the Minister of Internal Administration
The Porto protest movement, which is meeting with the President of the Republic today, Friday 13 November 2026, is presenting a list of nine housing demands, including the reversal of current rental laws, a ban on evictions without alternative housing, and limits on property acquisition by real estate funds. The movement is also calling for the resignation of the Minister of Internal Administration following police interventions at their protest sites.
Why it matters
While this is a set of demands rather than a change in law, it highlights the ongoing political pressure and potential constitutional challenges surrounding rental legislation that could eventually affect your rights as a tenant or property owner.Useful?
