The full story
Activists from the Movimento Porta a Porta have organised a demonstration in Beja as part of nationwide actions across multiple cities to demand affordable housing. The protest is scheduled to begin at the Casa da Cultura. According to the organisers, low wages and high housing costs have made rents and mortgage payments unaffordable for many, while government proposals regarding evictions and budget allocations for housing are rejected. The movement's demands include rent regulation, lower interest rates, secure rental contracts, an end to evictions without alternative housing, and increased public and student housing.
