"Housing should be a right and not a business." Protests have hit Lisbon, as youth flooded the streets on Saturday as Portugal struggles with a soaring cost of living. Organized by the General Confederation of Portuguese Workers, the rally coincided with protests in Porto and Coimbra, with calls for higher salaries, stronger public services, and action on rising housing, food, and fuel costs. The demonstrations came after police targeted a housing protest encampment in Porto on Thursday, with activists alleging excessive force.
