Thirty-five people vote to camp out tonight in Porto during housing protest
During a popular assembly held on Monday 19 October, 35 people voted to remain camped in Praça D. João I in Porto, where a housing protest has been ongoing for one week. The group, which has had tents set up since Saturday 17 October, also expressed solidarity with similar protests in Lisbon and across the country and discussed coordination with university student associations regarding housing and tuition fees.
Why it matters
This ongoing demonstration reflects the sustained public pressure regarding housing access in major cities; while it does not directly change legislation, it is part of a broader movement of social mobilization that residents should be aware of when navigating urban spaces in Porto.Correio da ManhãRead original ↗
