Protesters take to the streets across Portugal over housing crisis

Thousands of demonstrators gathered in more than 30 cities across Portugal to protest against the country's worsening housing crisis. Organized by the civil movement platform "Casa para Viver" (Home to Live), the rallies took place under slogans calling for greater protection of housing rights and an expansion of public housing.

Major demonstrations were reported in the capital, Lisbon, as well as the northern city of Porto. Organizers demanded immediate government intervention to address soaring rent costs, property speculation, and an acute shortage of affordable homes, which have increasingly priced local residents out of the housing market in recent years.
