Statements by the IHRU president fuel 'protest' for a roof for all in Braga
Around two hundred people gathered in Braga on Saturday, 24 October, to protest against the housing crisis and the cost of living. The demonstration was triggered by controversial remarks from the head of the Institute for Housing and Urban Rehabilitation (IHRU) regarding the younger generation's capacity for sacrifice, which he later apologized for. Participants are calling for measures including rent caps, an increase in public housing, and a halt to evictions without alternative housing.
Why it matters
While this is a specific protest, it reflects the broader national mobilization against housing and cost-of-living pressures; you should be aware that these demonstrations are ongoing across the country as activists continue to pressure the government for changes to rental laws and housing policy.Correio da ManhãRead original ↗
